2012 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · CE12 NEN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 8 October 2021 at 85,304 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car met all minimum safety standards at that time. However, because no tests have been recorded for nearly five years since that date, the current mechanical state of the vehicle is unknown. The significant gap in testing suggests the car may have been off the road or used outside of legal compliance since its last official inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between October 2019 and October 2021, the car covered 24,927 miles, moving from 60,377 to 85,304 miles. This represents a moderate annual usage rate which typically limits excessive wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. The lack of advisories in the 2020 and 2021 tests suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle effectively during that period. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to account for the five-year data gap. Since the vehicle has not been tested since 2021, rubber components such as suspension bushes and brake lines may have perished despite the low mileage. Inspect for surface corrosion on the brake discs and structural rust on the sills, as long periods of standing can accelerate oxidation. The buyer should also check tyre tread depth and age codes to ensure the rubber has not become brittle during the years of inactivity.
