2012 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · CV12 WDE

The Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test, a pass recorded on 6 October 2025 at 83,295 miles with no defects listed. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination from 2022 through 2025 resulting in a pass and no advisories logged at any stage. The single failure on 6 October 2025 at 83,295 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage pattern sits low for a 2012 registration, totalling 83,295 miles or roughly 5,950 per year. The records show steady annual use: 62,082 miles on 30 September 2022, 72,707 on 21 September 2023, 77,392 on 27 September 2024, and 83,295 on 6 October 2025. Annual increments of around 5,000 to 10,000 miles reflect light, consistent private use with no dormant gaps or sudden accumulation. The clean test slate across all five entries suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structural items within tolerance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Low-mileage Suzukis of this era commonly develop corroding subframe mounts and degraded suspension bushes through winter standing, neither of which a pass with no advisories would expose. Examine brake discs for lip and the rear coil springs for fracture, as these are routine fatigue points on the platform by year fourteen. Verify the 6 October 2025 failure context with the test centre, since a no-defect fail is irregular and may affect how insurers or future buyers read the history. Otherwise the documented care implies a sound, lightly used hatchback requiring only standard age-related scrutiny.
