2017 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · ST17 ADU

The 2017 Suzuki Swift is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-10 at 66,818 miles recording no defects. The prior test on 2025-10-01 at 66,730 miles showed a failure, though no specific defects were noted. This suggests an anomaly or procedural error, as the subsequent test passed without issues. The absence of recorded faults in the latest assessment indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no critical mechanical or structural concerns flagged. The vehicle’s mileage of 66,818 miles over nine years equates to an average of 7,424 miles annually, aligning with typical usage. However, gaps between tests reveal irregularities: from 2022-10-06 (46,865 miles) to 2023-11-10 (53,862 miles), the mileage increased by 7,000 miles over 13 months, followed by a 3,694-mile jump to 57,556 miles by 2024-10-09. These fluctuations may indicate periods of inactivity or inconsistent usage, which could affect components like the battery, suspension bushes, or exhaust system. The 2024-2025 period saw a 9,262-mile increase, suggesting more frequent operation but no corresponding defects in the MOT records. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as inconsistent mileage can accelerate wear. The brake system, particularly the rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny, as binding or uneven wear might go undetected in MOT tests. Corrosion in the exhaust system, especially if the car was stationary for extended periods, should also be checked. While the MOT history shows no major faults, the failed test and mileage irregularities highlight the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
