2012 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · CE62 HVC

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test in March 2026 at 79,532 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding an inoperative offside registration plate lamp. Prior to this, the car achieved three clean passes between 2023 and 2025, indicating that the previous owners consistently maintained the mechanical and structural integrity of the Suzuki. At a recorded mileage of 79,532 miles, the car has averaged approximately 5,700 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a 14-year-old vehicle. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between February 2025 and March 2026, and a similar interval in the years preceding it. This low mileage suggests less strain on the drivetrain components and suspension, though low usage can sometimes lead to rubber degradation or brake corrosion if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside rear tyre, as the March 2022 test at 56,295 miles flagged it as worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. While this may have been replaced, uneven wear often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified. Given the lack of recorded structural corrosion or brake system failures in the history, the physical inspection should focus on checking for age-related perished rubber and ensuring the brake calipers are not seized despite the low annual mileage.
