2018 Suzuki Swift 1.4L Petrol · AJ18 XHA

The vehicle's MOT history shows a recent failure followed by a pass, indicating a fluctuating maintenance trend rather than a consistent pattern of compliance. In the test on 7 October 2024, the vehicle failed, though the specific defect was not recorded in the provided data. The subsequent test on 10 October 2024 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to this, the vehicle achieved passes in August 2023 and July 2022 without any recorded advisories or failures. The recorded mileage of 89,109 miles for an 8-year-old vehicle represents an average annual usage of approximately 11,139 miles. This level of use is consistent with typical UK driving patterns. The MOT records show a relatively steady testing interval, though the data provided only covers the period from July 2022 to October 2024. Because the October 2024 failure did not specify the exact component, a physical inspection is necessary to identify what caused the initial non-compliance. A buyer should specifically examine the braking system for binding calipers or worn discs, check the suspension bushes and coil springs for play, and inspect the underside for signs of corrosion or exhaust system degradation. While the most recent test was clean, the recent failure suggests that components may be reaching the end of their service life. buying_score: 65 risk_level: Medium.
