2016 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · AV66 AAY

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. In the most recent test on 16 April 2025 at 49,263 miles, the car passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows three consecutive years of clean passes, indicating that the primary mechanical and safety components have remained within DVSA tolerances without any indication of recurring failures or escalating structural corrosion. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. A significant gap in usage appears between April 2022 and April 2023, where the car covered nearly 18,000 miles in a single year. Since that period, usage has returned to a more consistent pace, adding roughly 9,300 miles between the 2023 and 2025 tests. This low annual mileage suggests that the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension is likely minimal compared to typical high-mileage examples. Despite the clean MOT history, the buyer should inspect for signs of stagnation common with low-mileage vehicles. Cars that sit for long periods can develop flat-sp tyres, perished rubber suspension bushes, or seized brake calipers due to lack of movement. The failure recorded on 22 April 2022 at 21,936 miles was rectified immediately to a pass that same day, but a physical check of the brake discs for surface pitting is advisable to ensure the system has not developed corrosion during the periods of lower use.
