2014 Suzuki Swift 1.6L Petrol · DA64 DSY

The 2014 Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 60,994 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2022 through 2024 likewise show clean sheets. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, so the recorded condition trend is steady rather than worsening or resolving from fault. The odometer sat at 37,370 miles for the August 2022 test, then rose to 45,456 miles by September 2023, 54,071 miles by August 2024, and 60,994 miles by August 2025. That equates to roughly 7,000 to 8,700 miles added each year, against a lifetime average near 5,083 miles per annum. The low total of 60,994 miles for a twelve-year-old car points to light use, though the same-day fail and pass on 11 September 2023 at 45,454 and 45,456 miles shows an administrative re-test rather than a genuine defect, with no faults logged on either entry. A clean MOT record with no corrosion, suspension bush, brake disc, or exhaust emission flags spares the buyer from known recurring faults. Given the sparse history and low standing mileage, a physical inspection should still check for structural rust on sills and subframes, perch corrosion on coil springs, and any binding calipers from prolonged inactivity. Tyres and wiper blades remain consumable items outside the test scope and warrant a visual check despite the absence of advisories. The previous owner clearly kept the car to a basic statutory standard with no skipped tests and no neglected repairs escalating into failures. For a used-car buyer this Swift carries low recorded risk, but the age means rubber components and underbody integrity should be verified in person before purchase.
