2018 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · DS18 OTH

This Suzuki Swift is in a strong state of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 10 June 2026 at 78,012 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests with minimal issues over the last several years, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in a serviceable condition. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 9,752 miles per year. The distance covered between the May 2025 test at 67,135 miles and the June 2026 test at 78,012 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 11,000 miles annually. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. Past failures and advisories are limited to minor consumables and electrical faults. A failure on 25 April 2023 at 44,679 miles for an offside rear position lamp was rectified the same day. Earlier tests in May 2021 and May 2022 flagged nail damage and perishing on the nearside rear tyre, indicating a period of poor tyre maintenance or age-related rubber degradation. The May 2024 test at 56,895 miles noted a damaged windscreen and an inoperative registration plate lamp, though neither caused a failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the glazing to ensure the windscreen damage noted in 2024 was properly repaired. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or suspension wear, the history of tyre issues suggests a need to check the current tread depth and sidewall integrity of all four tyres. The absence of any brake or suspension advisories across 78,000 miles is positive, but a manual check of the brake pads and discs is advised given the mileage.
