2011 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · CK61 XOO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward mechanical degradation and neglect. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 82,988 miles, the record reveals a high volume of advisories compared to the clean results seen in 2021 and 2022. The surge in faults suggests that preventative maintenance has ceased and components are only being addressed once they reach a point of inspection failure. The mileage profile is low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows a steady climb from 71,928 miles in late 2021 to 82,988 miles in late 2025, indicating consistent but light usage. However, the low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components and metalwork, which is evident in the recurring issues with perished perished and perished suspension dust covers noted in the more recent inspections. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front end suspension and braking systems. The November 2025 test flagged play in the steering rack inner joints and worn lower arm bushes on both sides, alongside severely deteriorated ball joint dust covers. These issues indicate significant wear in the steering and suspension geometry. Furthermore, the presence of corrosion on all four brake pipes, noted as covered in grease, suggests a potential attempt to hide surface rust from the tester, which could lead to hydraulic failure if not properly replaced. Structural integrity also requires close attention, specifically the offside rear suspension mounting area which showed corrosion in November 2024. While this was not considered excessive at the time, the combination of corroded brake lines and mounting points suggests an environment prone to moisture. The recurring advisories for worn tyres and defective headlamp lenses indicate that basic consumable upkeep is frequently overlooked by the current owner.
