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 with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 September 2025 at 114,371 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed with clean sheets. No advisories or recurring mechanical faults appear across the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening wear or unresolved structural concerns under official inspection. Mileage has accumulated in a typical pattern for a 2016 vehicle. The record shows 82,179 miles on 16 January 2023, 86,940 at the passed test on 4 October 2023, 101,323 on 27 September 2024, and 114,371 on 19 September 2025. That equates to roughly 11,400 miles per year, consistent with average use. A two-day gap between the 2 October 2023 failure at 86,935 miles and the 4 October 2023 pass at 86,940 miles shows a quick rectification with no defects listed, suggesting the failure was administrative or cleared without noted component faults. The MOT history gives no flagged items for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and brake caliper operation, as ten-year-old vehicles commonly develop unseen rust or binding calipers not caught in a clean MOT. The absence of advisories implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. Given the sparse but clean record, the Swift shows no evidence of skipped maintenance or serious mechanical risk in the supplied data. Verify service history and inspect tyres and wiper blades in person, since these consumables fall outside MOT defect logging when within legal limits.
