2017 Suzuki Swift 1.0L Petrol · DL67 TNF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 26 August 2025 at 36,901 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend shows an improvement from previous years where recurring consumable issues were present. While the 2023 test initially resulted in a failure due to wiper blade inefficiency and tyre degradation, the subsequent tests indicate that these issues were addressed. The mileage pattern reflects very light usage for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 4,100 miles per year. The recorded data shows a steady, low-frequency progression from 12,898 miles in August 2022 to 36,901 miles in August 2025. This low annual mileage suggests the car has spent significant time stationary, which aligns with the specific advisories noted in the history. The MOT history highlights a recurring pattern of tyre perishing and cracking, specifically noted in August 2023 and August 2024. This suggests that while the vehicle is driven infrequently, the rubber components are susceptible to age-related degradation rather than tread wear. The August 2024 test also flagged corrosion on the nearside rear fuel pipe. Although the 2025 test passed without defects, the history of fuel pipe corrosion and tyre cracking necessitates a close physical inspection of all rubber hoses, seals, and tyre sidewalls for signs of environmental weathering. A prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the condition of the fuel system and any ancillary rubber components. Given the low mileage and potential for long periods of inactivity, checking the battery health and ensuring the braking system does not suffer from seized calipers or binding due to disuse would be prudent. The absence of structural corrosion or suspension component failures in the records is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age.
