2008 Suzuki Swift 1.3L Petrol · DE08 LFP

The Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 4 December 2025 at 120,154 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with three successive annual passes showing clean results and no advisories raised on suspension, brakes, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. A failed test logged on the same date as the final pass, also at 120,154 miles with no defects noted, indicates an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for an 18-year-old vehicle. The record shows 112,783 miles on 6 December 2023, rising to 112,804 miles the following day, then 116,594 miles by 3 December 2024, and 120,154 miles by December 2025. This equates to roughly 3,500 to 4,000 miles per year between tests, below the 6,675 annual average implied by the total, suggesting lighter-than-average running. The data is sparse, with only five entries and no recorded wear items or consumable replacements flagged at any stage. The absence of advisories across all tests implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though the lack of flagged tyre, brake disc, or suspension bush condition means those components remain unverified by the MOT record. A buyer should physically inspect the front coil springs, rear trailing arm bushes, and brake calipers for binding or corrosion, as these are common failure points on the 2008 Swift platform not captured in a clean test. Given the December 2025 pass is roughly seven months old relative to today's date, the certificate holds valid standing. No recurring faults or structural risks emerge from the history, but in-person checks of underside corrosion and exhaust integrity remain prudent on a vehicle of this age and mileage.
