2006 Suzuki Swift 1.3L Petrol · AJ06 LGA

The Suzuki Swift presents a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass at 123,575 miles on 23 April 2025. The maintenance trend reads as broadly stable with no recorded defects across the five most recent tests. A December 2024 failure at 123,524 miles carries no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven stop. The prior December 2023 test shows a fail and pass on the same day at 119,742 miles, again with no defects logged, pointing to paperwork or process issues rather than worn components. Annual mileage sits at a modest 6,179 miles per year against the vehicle's 2006 build, a light-use profile for a 20-year-old hatchback. Between 17 December 2022 at 117,520 miles and 15 December 2023 at 119,742 miles the car covered just 2,222 miles. From that point to the April 2025 pass at 123,575 miles it added 3,833 miles over roughly sixteen months. The sparse record shows no rapid accumulation or standing gaps that would flag abnormal drivetrain or suspension fatigue. With no advisories or defects recorded on any test, the MOT data alone reveals no recurring brake, suspension bush, coil spring, or corrosion problems. The twin 2023 same-day fail-pass and the 2024 fail with zero defects imply the seller should clarify the test centre reasons, as DVSA systems normally log a defect for a failure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, brake discs, and underbody rust given the car's age. Prior owners kept the test history clean on paper, but the unexplained failures warrant documentary evidence before purchase. Verify the April 2025 pass reflects genuine roadworthiness and not a lapse in reporting. Independent checks of exhaust emissions and binding calipers remain sensible on a two-decade-old Swift.
