SUZUKI SWIFT2008 · 1.5L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on a history of clean passes in its most recent inspections. The most recent test in November 2022 at 79,070 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure on the same day which likely indicates a minor adjustment or a consumable item that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The lack of advisories across the last three successful tests suggests that the vehicle has maintained a high standard of presentation to date. The mileage pattern is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. Between the October 2020 test at 64,890 miles and the November 2022 test at 79,070 miles, the car covered 14,180 miles. This low usage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes, tyres, and brake hoses, which are not always captured in a standard MOT emissions test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage use and age. Given the vehicle's age, a close-up check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as Suzuki models of this era are prone to rust. Inspect the brakes for binding calipers or surface pitting on the discs if the car has sat for extended periods. While the MOT record is clean, the age of the vehicle means that rubber seals and fluid integrity may require attention regardless of the low odometer reading.
