2008 Suzuki Swift 1.5L Petrol · KN58 AEJ

This Suzuki Swift presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 13 May 2025 at 75,771 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for an eighteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,210 miles per year. The distance covered between the May 2022 test at 70,125 miles and the May 2025 test at 75,771 miles shows a steady, low-use pattern of approximately 1,800 to 2,100 miles annually. This suggests the car has likely served as a secondary vehicle or a short-distance commuter. A single failure occurred on 10 May 2023 at 71,647 miles, though the record lists no specific defects, and the car passed six days later. This often indicates a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately. Because the MOT history is unusually devoid of advisories, it provides little data on the gradual wear of consumables. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber suspension bushes, cracked tyre sidewalls, and brake calipers that may seize or bind due to inactivity. Given the age of the chassis, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and underbody is essential, as the MOT record does not explicitly mention the state of the metalwork.
