2016 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · DC16 FWH

The 2016 Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 April 2025 at 53,458 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. The recorded mileage shows light use for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,346 miles per year. The tester logged 27,098 miles in June 2021, rising to 33,334 by June 2022, 38,917 by June 2023, 41,544 by April 2024, and 53,458 by April 2025. The jump between April 2024 and April 2025 accounts for nearly 12,000 miles, the largest single-year gain in the record, yet no advisories or failures appeared. Prior to that the annual increments stayed below 6,400 miles. The DVSA data contains no flagged corrosion, suspension wear, brake defects, or exhaust issues at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the clean sheet. Low annual mileage paired with the 2024 to 2025 surge suggests the car may have stood idle for long spells then entered regular service, a pattern that can age tyres, brake hoses, and suspension bushes through weathering rather than abrasion. Check the condition of the coil springs, brake discs, and underbody for structural rust not visible in a pass certificate. Given five consecutive passes with zero advisories, previous keepers appear to have kept the Swift to a sound standard. Verify service history and confirm the 2025 test sampled the car after its mileage climb, as the next test falls due by April 2026.
