Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Suzuki Swift passed its most recent MOT on 25 October 2021 at 168,484 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend at the point of its last official test. The record shows no worsening faults or recurring advisories across the supplied entries, and the vehicle has not been tested since, leaving its current roadworthiness unverified for nearly five years. The recorded mileage sits at 168,484 against an October 2021 pass, equating to roughly 9,360 miles per year since 2008 and reflecting typical use for a car of this age. A notable feature is the tight cluster of entries in late October 2021: the tester failed the car on 22 October at 168,474 miles with no defects logged, then passed it three days later at 168,484 miles. This suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the ten-mile gap between tests shows the vehicle was barely driven in that window. Given the clean pass and absence of advisories, no recurring wear items such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes were flagged in the official data. A buyer should still commission a fresh MOT and physical inspection before purchase, focusing on structural corrosion to sills and subframes, condition of coil springs and suspension bushes after prolonged inactivity, and brake caliper binding from standing unused since 2021. The sparse history offers little evidence of neglected consumables but provides no insight into the car's mechanical state today. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the long lapse since October 2021 means age-related degradation cannot be ruled out without a current examination.
