2011 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · CK61 XOP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 101,180 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just one mile prior due to a damaged nearside track rod end and a perished offside rear tyre. The recurring presence of lighting failures and tyre wear issues across multiple years suggests that the owner typically only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger an MOT failure or reach a legal limit. At 101,180 miles, the Suzuki Swift averages approximately 6,700 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows steady mileage accumulation, with roughly 6,800 miles covered between January 2024 and December 2024, and another 7,300 miles covered in the following year. This consistent use suggests the car is driven regularly, which generally helps prevent the types ofrelated issues associated with long periods of standing, despite the aging rubber-component degradation noted in the history. A buyer must scrutinize the steering and suspension components, as the record shows a persistent history of track rod end wear and suspension ball joint dust cover deterioration. The tester flagged play in the steering rack inner joints in late 2024 and deteriorated boots in early 2024, indicating the front suspension geometry is nearing its limit. Physical inspection should also check for lateral play in the steering and verify the condition of all tyres, as sidew cracking is a recurring theme. Additionally, the 'brake pedal wearing smooth' advisory from early 2024 warrants a thorough check of the master cylinder and fluid quality to ensure the hydraulic system is not failing despite the high mileage.
