2015 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · DN15 HTE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent inspection on 10 April 2026 at 92,523 miles. While the record shows a pattern of immediate failures on the day of annual testing, the subsequent passes with no recorded defects suggest that identified issues are addressed promptly prior to re-testing. The maintenance trend indicates a proactive approach to regulatory compliance, as the car has avoided recurring structural failures or persistent mechanical faults across the last three testing cycles. Mileage accumulation remains consistent with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per annum. Between March 2024 at 75,777 miles and April 2025 at 87,529 miles, the car covered over 12,000 miles in a year, though the recent interval of 5,000 miles leading to the 2026 test reflects a more relaxed period. This moderate usage pattern suggests the vehicle was not subjected to extreme stress, which generally preserves the integrity of the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage commercial fleet loads. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and braking system, as these are the most common areas for wear on a Swift of this age. Despite the clean pass history, the tester should check for perished rubber control arm bushes and signs of corrosion on the coil springs which often degrade before visible failure. Given the mileage, verifying the condition of the brake discs and checking for uneven brake pad wear is also advisable to ensure no significant binding has occurred that was not caught during the static MOT presentation.
