2018 Suzuki Swift 1.4L Petrol · CV68 VLS

The Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 November 2025 at 57,259 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 15 November 2024 at 52,189 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have carried through. The history shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults across the five-year span reviewed. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,157 miles per year against the 57,259 miles recorded. The log steps cleanly from 36,597 miles on 25 October 2022 to 45,591 miles on 25 October 2023, then to 52,189 miles by November 2024 and 57,259 miles by November 2025. The only anomaly is a failed test on 12 November 2024 at 52,189 miles with no defects listed, reversed three days later by a pass at identical mileage. That pattern suggests an administrative or process error at the testing station rather than a defect the owner neglected to fix. Given the absence of advisories on brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion, the record implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, and check brake disc wear and tyre condition, since the MOT does not measure remaining consumable life between tests. The clean sweep of passes from 2022 onward with no flagged binding calipers or worn components points to a lightly used, well-stored example. Verify service history matches the low annual mileage, and confirm the 2024 fail-with-no-defect entry was purely clerical before committing to purchase.
