2013 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · AU63 MFE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend. The most recent test on April 2, 2026, at 90,304 miles showed no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all legal road safety standards. While the history shows occasional failures related to lighting and tyres, these issues were rectified immediately before re-tests, suggesting the owner is responsive to MOT feedback and does not neglect urgent mechanical repairs. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 9,857 miles in 2016 to the current 90,304 miles in 2026. There are no significant periods of inactivity that would typically lead to dry rot or seized components, nor is there a sudden spike in usage that might strain the drivetrain. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the engine and suspension compared to high-mileage examples of the same age. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the rubber components and lighting, as the history indicates recurring issues. The 2018 test flagged perishing tyres across three wheels, and the 2022 failure involved a structural cut in the nearside rear tyre. Given the age of the car, checking the sidewalls for age-related cracking is vital. Additionally, the 2023 advisory regarding a discoloured indicator and the 2025 failure of a stop lamp necessitate a thorough check of all light lenses and housings to ensure they are free of moisture ingress. Since no structural corrosion or brake advisories have appeared in the records, the vehicle appears to have been well-preserved in these critical areas. The buyer should still inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear, as these components degrade over time regardless of the relatively low mileage. The overall data suggests a well-maintained vehicle that has been used predictably without major mechanical neglect.
