2007 Suzuki Swift 1.3L Petrol · DS57 ADX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2022-02-28 at 139,997 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the absence of subsequent MOT entries—despite the current date being 2026-07-14—indicates a significant gap in official roadworthiness verification. The prior test on 2022-02-23, also at 139,918 miles, failed without recorded defects, suggesting potential inconsistencies in the testing process or minor issues resolved between tests. Overall, the maintenance trend lacks recent data, making it impossible to confirm stability or deterioration. The vehicle’s mileage of 139,997 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 7,368 miles over its 19-year lifespan, which is typical for its age. Notable gaps exist between MOT tests, particularly the 13,179-mile increase between the 2021-02-25 test (126,818 miles) and the 2022-02-28 test (139,997 miles), indicating rapid mileage accumulation that could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions systems. The lack of defects in recent tests does not preclude underlying issues, as some mechanical faults may not trigger immediate MOT failures. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, focusing on coil springs and bushings, which may show wear from prolonged use. The braking system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as rapid mileage can exacerbate these issues. Structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body seams, warrants scrutiny due to the vehicle’s age. Additionally, the absence of recent MOT records means critical components like the exhaust system and emissions controls may have degraded without official detection.
