1999 Suzuki Swift 1.0L Petrol · T107 ABD

The recorded MOT history shows a stable maintenance outlook with no evidence of worsening condition. The most recent test, on 16 March 2023 at 62,367 miles, returned a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. That followed an equally clean pass on 30 March 2022 at 57,880 miles, meaning the vehicle presented no mechanical or structural faults across that twelve-month period. The mileage pattern indicates genuinely light use. Between the two tests the car covered 4,487 miles in just under a year, which sits close to its lifetime average of roughly 2,310 miles per year across 27 years. That is low for the age and points to either occasional running or extended periods off the road. More significantly, the certificate lapsed in March 2024 and no newer test appears on the DVSA record, so this car has effectively stood unused for over two years. That dormant period carries more weight than the clean previous pass. A buyer should therefore not assume the car is ready for immediate use. The next MOT is outstanding, and a 1999 Suzuki Swift of this vintage requires close inspection of structural corrosion to the sills, wheel arches, floor pans and suspension mounting points. Deteriorated suspension bushes and coil springs, binding rear calipers with worn brake discs, perished tyres and brake hoses from the long lay-up, plus exhaust emissions, are all realistic areas of concern that a fresh test would expose.
