2013 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · CV13 AEO

The Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 26 March 2026 at 89,618 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The March 2026 pass came one week after a failure on 19 March 2026 at 89,553 miles, though the DVSA entry records no defects against either test, indicating the earlier failure likely stemmed from an administrative or unlogged non-mechanical cause rather than a fault requiring rectification. Prior to that, the vehicle cleared tests in March 2025 at 86,809 miles and twice on 6 March 2024 at 79,563 miles, the latter pair showing a fail and pass on the same day with no defects noted. The odometer shows 89,618 miles against a 2013 build, equating to roughly 6,900 miles per year and sitting within typical usage for the age. Annual increments are modest: 6,746 miles between March 2024 and March 2025, then 2,809 miles to March 2026. The clean advisory columns across every entry suggest either light use or diligent consumable replacement, though the sparse record leaves suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, and underbody corrosion unverified by the tester. A buyer should commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and chassis corrosion given the thirteen-year age and absence of any advisory data on those points. The same-day fail-pass pattern at 79,563 miles in March 2024 warrants confirmation that no binding calipers or exhaust emissions anomaly were suppressed in the paperwork. With no recurring mechanical faults logged, the Swift's history implies competent upkeep, but the lack of flagged wear items across its life means in-person checks on tyres, wiper blades, and steering joints remain prudent before purchase.
