2019 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · CT19 LVA

This 2019 Suzuki Swift has a current MOT valid until May 2027, but the most recent inspection reveals a concerning trend of developing corrosion. The vehicle's condition is worsening. While earlier tests were relatively clean, the last two years show recurring advisories for brake hose corrosion and perishing tyres. Most notably, the May 2026 test now includes corrosion on both rear coil springs, indicating that rust is beginning to spread across the rear chassis and suspension components. The mileage of 53,125 is typical for a seven-year-old car. This suggests regular use, meaning the wear on consumables is expected, but the presence of corrosion on brake lines and springs suggests the car may have been exposed to road salt or damp conditions without sufficient preventative care. A history of tyre wear and perishing, combined with the recent brake hose and spring corrosion, points to a lack of proactive maintenance. The 2023 failure for worn brake pads and tyres further supports this pattern of running components until they reach their legal limit. When inspecting this car, prioritize a thorough check of the underbody. Specifically, examine the rear coil springs and brake hoses for further rust.
