2013 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Diesel · CX13 JNK

The Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 2 April 2026 at 150,082 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable and free of recorded defects across the latest cycle. The prior day's failure on 1 April 2026 at 150,078 miles carries no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. This pattern repeats from 2025, where the car failed on 4 April and 19 March with zero defects logged before passing cleanly on 4 April 2025 at 144,956 miles. The odometer shows 150,082 miles against a 2013 build, equating to roughly 11,545 miles per year and sitting within typical use for a 13-year-old hatchback. Accumulation is steady rather than aggressive: the vehicle covered 5,126 miles between the April 2025 test and the April 2026 pass. The MOT trail is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories or faults ever recorded, which limits insight into wear on consumables and mechanical items but indicates no escalated defect reporting. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as these components accrue fatigue without triggering MOT faults until degraded. The repeated no-defect failures point to prior owners possibly presenting the car for test without resolving paperwork or minor non-mechanical blockers, implying loosely managed ownership rather than neglected engineering. Given the clean advisory history, structural corrosion and exhaust emissions remain unflagged, but standing water ingress and undertray rust common to Swifts of this era warrant a ramp check. The absence of recorded tyre or wiper wear across 150,000 miles suggests either prompt consumable replacement or insufficient tester notation, so verify tread depth and blade condition before purchase.
