2018 Suzuki Swift 1.0L Petrol · N400 AJT

The Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 27 February 2026 at 140,294 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across five consecutive annual examinations from March 2022 through February 2026, the vehicle cleared every test without a single advisory or failure. This unbroken clean record signals consistent statutory compliance and suggests the previous keepers addressed wear before each examination. Mileage stands at 140,294 on a 2018 car, an average of roughly 17,500 miles per year and high for its age. The records show steady annual accumulation: 52,926 miles in March 2022, 70,478 by March 2023, 96,128 in March 2024, 121,593 in March 2025, and 140,294 by February 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear; the car covered about 18,000 to 24,000 miles between each test. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every entry listing no defects, so no consumable neglect or deferred repairs is visible in the history. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the clean sheet. High annual mileage of this order loads suspension bushes, coil springs, and damper units well beyond typical urban use, and worn components may not yet breach MOT thresholds. Brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for heat cracking and binding after sustained motorway braking cycles. Structural corrosion beneath sills and subframes is not logged but eight years of winter road salt exposure can hide until metal fatigues. Examine the exhaust system for internal baffle collapse and check tyre sidewalls for uneven shoulder wear from repeated long runs. The absence of advisories means the tester found nothing reportable, not that the car is free of age-related fatigue.
