SUZUKI SWIFT1995 · 1.3L PETROL

The 1995 Suzuki Swift has a recorded mileage of 53,096 miles, making it 31 years old as of 2026. This low annual average of 1,713 miles suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion and mechanical degradation despite low mileage. The MOT history reveals recurring issues with suspension components, wheel bearings, and corrosion, alongside intermittent electrical faults. The most recent MOT entries from 2012 show a failed test due to headlamp aim, suspension arm play, and wheel bearing issues, followed by a subsequent pass for the same mileage. This indicates unresolved or re-emerging problems, particularly with suspension joints and wheel bearings, which may point to insufficient maintenance or structural wear. Corrosion is consistently noted, likely exacerbated by the vehicle’s low usage and potential exposure to damp environments. From 2011 to 2012, suspension arm play (2.4.G.2) and wheel bearing play (2.5.A.3c) reappeared, suggesting these defects were not fully addressed. Electrical failures, such as non-working lights and washer issues, also recurred, highlighting potential wiring or connection problems. While the 2006 MOT showed no defects, the lack of data between 2006 and 2011 makes it difficult to assess intermediate trends. The vehicle’s condition appears to have remained unstable, with no evidence of improvement in critical areas.
