SUZUKI SWIFT2007 · 1.5L Petrol

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 156,045 miles. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, as the car has passed without recorded defects or advisories for the last three consecutive tests. While a failure occurred in February 2024, the immediate rectification and subsequent clean records suggest that the current ownership regime is proactive in addressing mechanical requirements rather than allowing minor faults to escalate. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 156,045 miles represents an average annual usage of approximately 8,200 miles. This aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a smaller hatchback. The data shows consistent use over time, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and nearly 9,000 miles covered between February 2025 and February 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished rubber components or seized brake calipers. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on common points of failure for a Suzuki Swift of this age. The buyer should examine the structural integrity of the sills and rear mounting points for hidden corrosion, as MOT tests often miss surface rust until it becomes significant. Given the mileage, checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary to ensure no premature wear has occurred. Since the record shows no advisories for brakes, a manual check of the disc thickness and pad wear will confirm there are no developing binding issues that a standard MOT test might omit.
