2017 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · CV17 VUE

The 2017 Suzuki Swift passed its most recent MOT on 27 May 2026 at 56,000 miles, but the record reveals several immediate areas of concern regarding suspension and tyres. The tester flagged the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint with slight play and noted the nearside front tyre is worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. Furthermore, the nearside rear tyre shows signs of cracking or perishing, suggesting the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or is reaching its age limit. These issues represent standard consumable wear but require attention to maintain roadworthiness standards. The vehicle has covered 56,000 miles over approximately nine years, averaging roughly 6,200 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent with typical low-mileage commuting. The history shows a consistent annual testing schedule, with mileage increasing from 42,443 miles in May 2024 to 50,062 miles in May 2025, and finally to 56,000 miles in May 2026. This steady progression suggests a predictable usage pattern, though the failure in May 2025 indicates that specific components like the headlamp aim and registration plate lamp were neglected until the inspection. A failure occurred during the May 2025 test due to an incorrect offside front headlamp aim and an inoperative registration plate lamp, both of which were rectified for the subsequent pass. The recurring advisories regarding tyre condition and perishing across the last three years indicate that the owner addresses issues only upon MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. A buyer should inspect the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint for further play and replace the worn nearside front tyre and cracked nearside rear tyre to prevent structural failure of the rubber.
