2014 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · CV14 VFS

The Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 February 2026 at 85,365 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 3 February 2025 at 82,659 miles also showed a clean sheet. The only blemish is a failed test on 30 January 2025 at 82,657 miles where the DVSA system logged no defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault, immediately rectified by the pass four days later. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 2014 vehicle. From the 22 December 2022 test at 79,296 miles to the 14 February 2024 test at 80,640 miles the car covered just 1,344 miles, then added 2,019 miles by February 2025 and a further 2,706 miles by February 2026. The annual averages sit near 7,100 miles, with no rapid accumulation or concerning gaps that would imply prolonged standing or excessive drivetrain strain. The sparse five-entry history shows no advisories across any test, indicating either light use or disciplined upkeep by previous owners. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. The absence of flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion in the MOT data does not preclude age-related degradation on a twelve-year-old hatchback. Examine subframe and sills for structural rust, check the exhaust emissions system, and verify brake caliper operation and tyre sidewall condition. The January 2025 failure with no recorded defect warrants confirmation that the V5C and test certificate align with the DVSA entry.
