2018 Suzuki Swift 1.0L Hybrid electric · AB53 CAS

The Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 August 2025 at 26,250 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the vehicle's lifetime. Annual MOT data shows consistently low usage for an eight-year-old car. The record opens at 12,589 miles on 3 September 2021 and climbs to 15,240 by 19 August 2022, 18,701 by 18 August 2023, 21,865 by 21 August 2024, and 26,250 by the 2025 test. That averages roughly 3,400 miles per year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The clean sheet across every entry suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, though low standing mileage can mask degraded rubber components. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for age-related stiffness rather than wear, since the tests never flagged them. Check underneath for corrosion on structural members and examine exhaust emissions hardware, as eight years of light use may have left moisture trapped in sills or floor pans. Verify tyre sidewall condition and brake disc surface despite no advisories, given long idle periods between drives. The history shows no recurring faults, so the main risk is latent deterioration from disuse, not deferred repairs.
