2018 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · CU68 XKB

The Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 1 October 2025 at 69,887 miles, and the maintenance trend across the supplied record is stable with no advisories or defects logged at any stage. The most recent test clears the car for road use, though the preceding failure two days earlier at 69,844 miles carries no recorded defect, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for an eight year old car, rising from 49,982 miles at the 13 September 2023 test to 60,699 miles by 25 September 2024 and 69,887 miles by October 2025, equating to roughly 8,700 miles per year. The DVSA entries are sparse and uniformly clean aside from the two no-defect failures, so the record offers little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs across the period. A buyer should still verify in person that the September 2025 failure with no defect logged was not a missed identification of worn brake discs, tired suspension bushes, or underbody corrosion that a subsequent tester overlooked. Given the clean history, focus the viewing on tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions under load, and structural integrity around sills and subframes for age related rust. The repeated no-defect failure pattern suggests the previous keeper addressed paperwork or retest timing promptly rather than leaving the car idle with faults. Treat the Swift as mechanically sound on paper, but commission an independent inspection before purchase to confirm the absence of latent wear not captured by the MOT system.
