2010 Suzuki Swift SZ3 1.3L Petrol · ONZ 6218

The 2026‑02‑24 MOT at 79,311 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. All preceding tests from November 2021 through March 2025 also showed no failures, demonstrating consistent upkeep across the vehicle’s life. The mileage trajectory shows a gradual increase from 62,274 miles in November 2021 to 79,311 miles in February 2026, averaging roughly 4,957 miles per year, which is low for a 16‑year‑old vehicle and suggests limited use or extended periods of inactivity. The data points are spaced about one year apart, with no abrupt jumps, indicating steady accumulation rather than rapid wear. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension system, paying close attention to bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, and examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, as these components are prone to deterioration when a car remains stationary for long intervals. Particular focus on structural rust around wheel arches, chassis rails and the underbody is advisable, given the low annual mileage that can allow corrosion to develop unnoticed. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a physical inspection of the chassis, wheel arches and underbody for rust, verification of fluid levels, and a test of steering and suspension movement are essential to confirm that low mileage has not masked latent defects.
