2007 Suzuki Swift 1.3L Petrol · AV57 AEB

The most recent MOT test on December 22, 2023, confirms this Suzuki Swift remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 93,799 miles. The absence of advisories or failures across the last three tests—including a near-consecutive pass and fail in October 2022 at 91,234 miles—suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level without critical recurring issues. However, the repeated test at the same mileage in late 2022 implies either a scheduling oversight or a minor, non-critical fault that required re-inspection rather than mechanical neglect. The trend is stable, with no evidence of worsening conditions, but the lack of advisories in later tests means some potential wear may not have been formally documented. The recorded mileage of 93,799 miles over nearly 19 years—roughly 4,937 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no gaps longer than 12 months between tests, which is unusual given the 2022 double-test anomaly, but the consistent low mileage reduces the likelihood of severe wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes or drivetrain seals. The absence of any MOT entries between October 2021 and October 2022 suggests either a deliberate deferral of the test or a brief period of non-use, though the subsequent pass in December 2023 rules out any unresolved structural issues. A prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The repeated test in late 2022 could hint at minor handling concerns, such as worn suspension parts or binding calipers, which might not have been severe enough to fail but could degrade over time. Brake discs and pads should also be closely examined, as the lack of advisories does not preclude uneven wear or corrosion. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has spent extended periods in wet or coastal environments. Tyre condition remains a critical factor, though the MOT history does not provide tread depth specifics.
