2015 SUZUKI SWIFT1.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding braking system care. While it passed the most recent test on January 2026 at 56,704 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior. The tester identified critical insufficient brake lever travel and thin front brake pads along with pitted and corroded front brake discs. The immediate rectification of these defects suggests that the owner is only addressing mechanical faults once they reach a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,155 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between the January 2025 test at 30,482 miles and the January 2026 test at 56,704 miles, where the car covered over 26,000 miles in a single year. This sudden burst of activity explains the rapid degradation observed on the front brakes compared to the clean report from the previous prior and the minor wear recorded in the early 2024 test. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front braking assembly, as the record shows recurring issues with worn pads and scored discs. The presence of a TPMS and service light on the dash during the latest test indicates that basic vehicle monitoring requirements have been ignored. Given the low annual mileage and potential periods of standing, check for signs of rubber degradation in suspension bushes and perished tyres, which often affect vehicles that sit stationary for long durations. Verify the brake fluid condition and ensure the rear indicator bulbs mentioned in the failure report have been replaced with the correct specification.
