2016 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · SH16 AEA

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on April 2, 2025 at 49,734 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a period of clean passes over the previous three years, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable operating parameters. The absence of recurring advisories suggests the previous owner maintained a proactive approach to vehicle upkeep. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per annum. Between October 2022 and April 2024, the car covered 3,836 miles, while the most recent-year interval saw only 7,932 miles added. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid stagnation. The lack of significant mileage spikes between tests confirms the vehicle has not been subjected to high-intensity motorway use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage patterns. Although the MOT history is clean, the failure in October 2022 at 37,966 miles suggests a minor defect that required immediate rectification before the subsequent pass. Inspect the brake discs for corrosion and check for seized suspension bushes, as these can occur when a car is used infrequently. Given the age of the Suzuki, checking the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches is also essential to ensure that low mileage has not masked underlying corrosion.
