2012 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · EX12 LBE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean pass results. The most recent test on 25 January 2024 at 60,228 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met the minimum legal standards. While the record shows failures on the same dates as subsequent passes, the immediate re-tests suggest that minor issues were rectified quickly without a pattern of recurring mechanical failure emerging. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 60,228 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per annum. The data shows a consistent pattern of use, with 9,054 miles covered between January 2022 and January 2023, and another 9,984 miles between January 2023 and January 2024. This low annual mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown during periods of relative inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from low-mileage use. Check the chassis for surface corrosion or structural rust in the sills and wheel arches, as moisture can settle on vehicles that sit infrequently. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for dry cracking, as these materials degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Given the clean history, also verify the brake calipers for any binding or corrosion to ensure the system has not seized due to lack of frequent use.
