2018 Suzuki Swift 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · AJ18 XPM

The Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 29,485 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed entry with no defects listed, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in October 2024 at 27,184 miles, August 2023 at 22,886 miles, and August 2022 at 20,211 miles all passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or worsening conditions across its recorded history. Mileage sits low for an eight-year-old car at 29,485 miles, averaging roughly 3,686 miles per year. The record shows steady but light use: 20,211 miles in August 2022, 22,886 by August 2023, 27,184 by October 2024, and 29,485 by October 2025. No rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps appear. The clean test history with no corrosion, suspension bush, or brake disc flags suggests the low mileage reflects genuine light running rather than prolonged standing with neglected consumables. A buyer should still confirm the October 2025 fail-with-no-defects was a DVSA clerical error and not a withheld certificate. Given the low annual mileage, inspect tyres for sidewall cracking from age rather than tread wear, and check brake calipers for binding after periods of disuse. Examine underside structural points for early corrosion despite the clean record, as eight years can hide surface rust unseen in a pass test. No recurrent mechanical faults emerge from the data to suggest deferred upkeep. The previous owner appears to have maintained the car to test standard. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to verify suspension bushes and exhaust emissions under real load conditions not captured by a stationary MOT.
