2010 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · NA60 AAO

The vehicle presents a current roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend despite intermittent failures. The most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 143,073 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior at a nearly identical mileage. This pattern suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying compliance issues immediately to secure a valid certificate. The lack of advisories in the latest two tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum legal standards. At 143,073 miles, this sixteen-year-old Suzuki Swift averages approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns closely with national averages for a passenger car. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 13,000 miles covered between July 2023 and August 2024, and another 8,700 miles recorded between August 2024 and August 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of seals, hoses, and fuel system components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas most prone to wear on a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the MOT record is clean, the high mileage warrants a thorough check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of weeping or play. Given the age, inspect the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as these often hide until they become significant. Verify the condition of the brake discs and the flexibility of calipers to ensure the recent passing grades reflect consistent maintenance despite the high mileage.
