2013 Suzuki Swift 1.6L Petrol · DV13 KUN

The 2013 Suzuki Swift presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 2 May 2025 at 73,636 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean bill of health, following a pattern of consistent passes, indicates the vehicle is currently in sound mechanical order with no immediate advisories or failures to address. The mileage accumulation tells a story of exceptionally low use for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The recorded 73,636 miles equates to an average of roughly 5,664 miles per year. The data points show a steady but gentle climb: 59,995 miles in October 2023, 69,602 miles in October 2024, and 73,636 miles by May 2025. This suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly, likely for short, local journeys, which can be kinder to the drivetrain but may not be ideal for the exhaust system or diesel particulate filter if applicable. The record is clean and consistent, with no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection. The low annual mileage and short-trip usage pattern warrant a close check of the exhaust system for internal corrosion from condensation, and the brake discs and pads for surface rust or binding caused by infrequent use. The tyre date codes and sidewalls should be examined carefully, as a vehicle of this age may have older rubber that has perished from standing rather than wear. A raised inspection is essential to assess the underside. The tester flagged no structural corrosion, but a physical check of the sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points is prudent given the vehicle's age. The front suspension lower mounts and rear axle bushes should be inspected for perishing. The engine and transmission should be cold-started to listen for timing chain rattle or clutch slip, common concerns on higher-mileage Swifts, even if this example has covered less ground.
