2006 Suzuki Swift 1.5L Petrol · CX06 YJC

The Suzuki Swift presents a currently roadworthy status following the January 2026 test pass at 107,267 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded period. The vehicle cleared its most recent examination with no defects logged, though the same-day failure on 2 January 2026 alongside a clean pass on the identical date and mileage suggests an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the car passed in January 2025 at 102,138 miles and January 2024 at 97,168 miles, showing a consistent clean record with no advisories or structural concerns raised by testers. Annual mileage averages around 5,000 miles against the vehicle's 2006 build date, confirming light use for a twenty-year-old car. The gap between the January 2024 test at 97,168 miles and the January 2025 test at 102,138 miles shows 4,970 miles covered, with a further 5,129 miles to the January 2026 reading at 107,267 miles. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear in the data; the sparse three-year history contains no corrosion, suspension bush, brake disc, or exhaust emission flags, which implies the previous keeper maintained basic test compliance even if deeper service records are absent. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the underbody and suspension components, as the MOT record's clean status does not capture gradual wear outside test thresholds. Low-mileage Suzukis of this era commonly develop perished rubber mounts, weakened coil springs, and rear axle corrosion invisible to a pass result. Verify the brake calipers are free and the exhaust system sound, since binding calipers or mild structural rust may escape detection between annual tests. Given the twin failure-pass entries on both 27-28 January 2025 and 2 January 2026 with no defects listed, confirm with the seller whether these were paperwork errors or genuine presentation issues. The overall evidence points to a lightly used, structurally sound example, but physical verification of consumable items remains prudent before purchase.
