2018 Suzuki Swift 1.4L Petrol · CY18 ESV

The Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 11 March 2026 at 89,747 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, though the test sequence shows two anomalous failures on administrative grounds rather than mechanical faults. On 3 March 2026 at 89,734 miles and previously on 13 December 2023 at 69,517 miles, the tester issued failures with no defects logged, indicating paperwork or identification issues rather than worn components. The vehicle cleared both re-tests without corrective work, confirming no underlying mechanical concern. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,200 miles against an eight-year lifespan, a typical use profile for a 2018 supermini. The odometer moved from 69,517 miles in December 2023 to 82,168 miles by December 2024, then to 89,747 miles by March 2026. That equates to about 12,600 miles in the first interval and 7,600 in the second, showing a slight slowdown in use rather than rapid accumulation. The record is sparse and clean, with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items the MOT does not measure in depth. The absence of advisories across four passes suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition warrant verification. Given the two clean-sheet failures, confirm the V5C and test certificate details match before purchase to avoid repeat administrative rejection. No structural or mechanical risks surface from the DVSA data. The Swift's history implies disciplined ownership, yet standing periods between the 2024 and 2026 tests mean brake binding or flat-spotted tyres could develop unseen. A pre-purchase check of calipers, handbrake travel, and underbody integrity remains sensible.
