2007 SUZUKI SWIFT1.5L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than preventative repairs. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 87,340 miles was a pass, it followed a significant failure just four days prior at 37,316 miles. That failed test highlighted a major exhaust leak and poor lambda readings alongside recurring corroded brake pipes. The persistence of exhaust issues across multiple years suggests that components are only addressed when they reach a point of failure rather than during routine servicing. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. However, there is a conspicuous spike in usage between October 2024 and October 2025, where the car covered over 47,000 miles in a single year. Prior to this period, the vehicle saw much lower use, covering only 24,000 miles between 2020 and 2024. This sudden surge likely explains the accelerated wear on rubber and metal components that appeared in the more recent tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The record shows chronic corrosion on the offside front and nearside rear brake pipes, which were flagged in 2024 and 2025. Furthermore, the suspension has a history of failures involving excessively worn ball joints and arm bushes, indicating that the rubber components may be perished due to age. The exhaust system also requires close scrutiny for structural integrity, as minor leaks have been a recorded defect since at least 2021.
