2012 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · DE12 CEK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent test on September 11, 2025, 52,448 miles, where it passed without defects. Despite a failure just six days prior at 52,431 miles, the subsequent pass indicates that the owner addressed the specific issues identified immediately. The overall history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests with no recorded advisories, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components remain within acceptable operating parameters for now. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,746 miles per year. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the car covered only 1,142 miles, while the most recent year saw a slight increase to 1,232 miles. This low usage pattern suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it also increases the risk of age-related degradation such as perished rubber, dry seals, and brake corrosion which often occur when vehicles spend long periods in inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of brake corrosion and seized calipers, as low mileage often leads to surface rust on brake discs. While the record shows no structural failures, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or tearing. Given the two failures in 2023 and 2025 that resulted in immediate passes, it is vital to verify the specific cause of those previous failures to ensure no recurring mechanical issue is being temporarily masked.
