2007 Suzuki Swift 1.3L Petrol · DS57 AEC

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on March 6 2026 at 129,404 miles returned no defects or advisories, maintaining a stable trend over the last several years. This suggests the previous owners have maintained the car to a standard that prevents the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nineteen-year-old Suzuki Swift, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between February 2021 and March 2023, during which the vehicle covered only 3,319 miles. However, since 2023, the usage has returned to a steady rate, covering roughly 7,000 miles in the three years between the 2023 and 2026 tests. This regular annual use indicates the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which is beneficial for seals, gaskets, and rubber components. Despite the clean record, a physical inspection should focus on areas prone to age-related degradation that an MOT does not fully capture. A buyer should check for early-stage corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as these often rust before failing a structural test. Given the mileage, examining the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs is advisable to ensure ride quality has not degraded out. The lack of recorded advisories suggests the brakes and tyres are in good condition, but a manual check for caliper binding or uneven tyre wear remains a necessary professional precaution.
