2014 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · AO14 AET

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record in its most recent assessment. The March 2026 test at 138,059 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of successful inspections dating back to 2024, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained sufficiently to meet minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 104,654 miles in March 2023 to 138,059 miles in March 2026. This incremental increase suggests regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway running. The absence of significant mileage gaps indicates the vehicle has been in consistent service. While the MOT history is largely clean, the failure recorded on 03 March 2023 at 104,654 miles indicates a previous instance where the vehicle did not meet roadworthiness standards. Although the specific defect was not detailed in the summary, the subsequent three years of clean passes suggest that whatever issue caused that failure was successfully rectified. A prospective buyer should focus on inspecting high-wear components that the MOT testing regime does not always catch in detail. Given the 138,059 mileage, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is recommended to check for perished rubber or leaks. It is also prudent to examine the brake discs for heavy pitting and check the underside for any signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the subframes, to ensure the vehicle remains in its current passing condition.
