2014 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · CA64 ABU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a history of clean passes following reactive repairs. The most recent MOT conducted in December 2022 at 34,725 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components were in order at that time. However, as three and a half years have passed since that last test, the vehicle is currently out of MOT and requires an immediate inspection to ensure the condition has not deteriorated during the extended period. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old car, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. Between November 2017 at 9,955 miles and December 2022 at 34,725 miles, the vehicle covered only 24,770 miles. This usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, but low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts, brake corrosion, and potential fluid breakdown if the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and previously flagged issues. The November 2018 test at 13,419 miles identified a nearside front service brake binding, which was rectified before the pass. Given the low usage, brake calipers are prone to seizing and discs to surface rust from lack of use. The history also shows recurring issues with wiper blades and mirrors in 2018 and 2021, suggesting that minor consumable items are only addressed when they fail. A physical inspection should verify the state of the suspension bushes and tyres, as these can age faster than they wear down on low-mileage vehicles.
