2016 Suzuki Swift 1.6L Petrol · CT16 BHU

The Suzuki Swift presents a roadworthy status as of the most recent test on 30 July 2025 at 113,763 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A prior failed attempt on the same date at identical mileage suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault, mirroring the 19 July 2024 test which failed then passed at 105,443 and 105,444 miles with no defects logged. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a 2016 vehicle, rising from 95,103 miles at the 17 July 2023 test to 105,444 by July 2024 and 113,763 by July 2025. That equates to roughly 10,000 miles per year, consistent with the 11,376 annual average for its age. The record shows clean passes aside from the duplicated fail/pass entries, with no gaps exceeding the standard twelve-month cycle and no rapid accumulation indicating harsh use. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the age and mileage, though the MOT data offers no recorded wear in those areas. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion merit a visual check, as the tester raised no advisories but ten-year-old vehicles commonly develop rust unseen in a pass result. The absence of recurring defects points to reasonable upkeep by previous owners, yet the twin fail/pass logs on test days imply paperwork or presentation issues rather than skipped maintenance. Verify the V5C and test certificate to confirm the failures were administrative before purchase.
