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 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 28 August 2024 at 83,483 miles, with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is stable across the available record, showing no escalating mechanical faults. Prior to that pass, the vehicle failed on 21 August 2024 at 83,443 miles, though the tester recorded no specific defects, a pattern repeated when it failed then passed on the same day, 31 August 2023, at 77,137 miles. Such zero-defect failures suggest administrative or presentation issues at test rather than worsening condition. At roughly 17 years old the car shows 83,483 miles, an average of about 4,911 miles per year, which is low for its age. The record jumps from 70,735 miles on 8 March 2022 to 77,137 miles by 31 August 2023, then to 83,483 by August 2024, indicating steady low annual use of six to seven thousand miles. A gap exists before the 2022 test with no earlier entries supplied, but the post-2022 data is clean and sparse, showing no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any listed examination. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's 2009 manufacture and potential for standing-period rust. The repeated no-defect failures imply the previous owners may have presented the car poorly or omitted required paperwork rather than neglecting consumables. Verify brake disc thickness, coil spring condition, and exhaust emissions during a viewing, as these items carry no historical flags but degrade with age irrespective of low mileage.
