Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent test on 16 June 2025 at 105,768 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Maintenance trend stays stable across the five-year DVSA record, showing passes on 10 May 2022 at 86,678 miles, 17 May 2023 at 89,083 miles, 16 May 2024 at 96,763 miles and the 2025 renewal. The isolated failure on 15 May 2023 at 89,083 miles listed no defects, and the two-day-later pass with no defects suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a deteriorating mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation matches typical expectations for a 2010 Suzuki Swift. The odometer moved from 86,678 in May 2022 to 89,083 by May 2023, then 96,763 by May 2024 and 105,768 by June 2025, averaging roughly 6,600 miles per year. No abrupt gaps or high-intensity accumulation appear. The sparse but clean history indicates the previous keeper sustained test compliance without neglected consumables such as tyres or wiper blades surfacing as advisories. Despite the absence of recorded advisories, a buyer must inspect age-related components physically. The tester logged no corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or binding calipers, yet a sixteen-year-old car at 105,768 miles may conceal fatigue. Check subframe and sills for structural rust, assess front suspension arms for worn bushes, and confirm rear brake calipers release freely. The earlier fail with no defects warrants verification of paperwork to exclude any historic identification anomaly. Previous owners cleared the 2023 retest swiftly, implying prompt attention to required work, but a pre-purchase inspection remains prudent given the lenient advisory record.
