2014 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · AY14 VUN

This Suzuki Swift has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across five consecutive tests, with the most recent inspection on 19 March 2026 confirming no defects at 33,811 miles . The absence of advisories or recurring failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, if not meticulous, servicing, though the record does not reveal whether routine maintenance (e.g., fluid changes, suspension servicing) was performed between tests. The double entry for March 2023 —a pass followed immediately by a fail at identical mileage—appears anomalous, as the same tester would not have retested the same vehicle on the same day unless there was an administrative error or a rare re-inspection for a specific defect. No mechanical or structural issues have been documented since the 2024 test , implying a stable condition over the past two years. The recorded mileage of 33,811 miles over 12 years —approximately 2,818 miles per year —is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Swift’s typical usage patterns. This suggests either very light usage, prolonged periods of storage, or potential odometer manipulation, though the latter cannot be confirmed without further evidence. The mileage increments between tests are consistent and gradual, with 641 miles covered between the 2025 and 2026 tests , and 642 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests , indicating no sudden spikes in usage that might stress critical components. The lack of advisories or partial failures also supports the idea of minimal wear, though this does not preclude hidden issues such as corrosion or degraded suspension bushes that might not have been detectable without a thorough mechanical inspection. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person examination of suspension components , particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers , as these are prone to gradual degradation even with low mileage. The brake system , including calipers, pads, and discs , should be inspected for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods, as moisture can accelerate corrosion. Exhaust emissions —while not failing in tests—should be monitored for unusual smoke or leaks, as catalytic converter efficiency can degrade silently. Structural corrosion , particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and underbody, is another critical area, as low mileage does not guarantee absence of rust; prolonged standing can exacerbate this. Finally, the tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity warrant immediate verification, as the MOT history does not account for individual tyre conditions—failing twice on tread in the past would imply basic upkeep was neglected.
