2016 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · AV66 AAN

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent MOT test conducted on 21 August 2023 at 40,117 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components have met all DVSA standards without any indication of recurring faults or developing issues over the last five years of recorded testing. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging 4,000 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression from 19,092 miles in 2019 to 40,117 miles in 2023, though a slightly larger gap of 9,663 miles occurred between 2019 and 2020. While this low usage suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing can lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components that mileage does not capture. Given the lack of recorded faults in the history, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. A buyer should check for cracking in tyre sidewalls and perished suspension bushes, which often fail due to age rather than distance travelled. It is also necessary to inspect brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers, as infrequently used vehicles are prone to sticking. The structural integrity of the underbody and sills should be verified to ensure that low mileage has not masked hidden corrosion.
