2008 Suzuki Swift 1.5L Petrol · AC08 LPZ

The Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 January 2024 at 89,658 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, a failure on 12 January 2024 at 89,552 miles listed no defects, indicating the car was presented again four days later and cleared. This pattern repeats the 2022 sequence where a failure on 19 January at 79,479 miles with no defects was followed by a pass on 21 January at 79,480 miles. The history shows no worsening mechanical faults across the four-year span. At roughly 18 years old the car shows 89,658 miles, an average of about 4,981 miles per year. That is low for its age. The records reveal almost no use between January 2022 and January 2023, with only 1,041 miles added, then 9,137 miles to January 2024. The sparse, clean MOT entries give little insight into consumable wear but confirm no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion were raised by testers. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for structural rust and underbody corrosion given the 2008 build year and likely periods of standing. The two failure entries with no recorded defects suggest administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults, yet the brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions should be checked for age-related degradation. Given the low annual mileage and repeated no-defect outcomes, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current. The rapid re-test passes after failures imply minor prep work rather than neglected repair. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to confirm suspension and braking components match the clean record.
