2007 Suzuki Swift 1.5L Petrol · DS57 ADO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 December 2025 at 47,226 miles. While the record shows a failure just five days prior at the same mileage, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects suggests a minor administrative clerical error or a trivial component failure that was rectified immediately. Since the November 2022, the car has consistently passed tests without any advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural integrity remains maintained over the last three years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,486 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 40,392 miles and the December 2024 test at 45,367 miles, the car covered only 4,975 miles over two years, followed by another 1,859-mile interval in the following fourteen months. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically checking for corrosion in the sills and wheel arches which often affects older low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods. Despite the low history, suspension bushes and tyres may perish from age, and brake fluid may have absorbed moisture if not replaced at regular intervals. Inspect the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, as infrequent use can lead to binding calipers despite a lack of recorded MOT failures.
