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

The 2021 Suzuki Swift SZ‑L Dualjet MHEV is presently roadworthy, having passed the September 3, 2025 MOT at 26,226 miles with no defects recorded. The immediate trend shows improvement, as the preceding September 2 test at 26,225 miles identified front brake pads below 1.5 mm, yet the following day’s result contained no failures, indicating that the brake issue was rectified before the retest. The vehicle, five years old in 2026, records 26,226 miles, averaging roughly 5,245 miles per year, a figure that is low for its age and may reflect periods of limited use. The mileage gap between the September 5, 2024 test at 17,069 miles and the September 2, 2025 test at 26,225 miles represents an increase of about 9,156 miles within a single year, suggesting a period of more active driving before the recent low‑mileage stretch. A buyer should therefore inspect the front brake system closely, confirming pad thickness, caliper binding and disc condition, and also examine the suspension bushes, coil springs and any signs of binding calipers, as these components were implicated in the earlier failure. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the 2024 and 2025 tests points to relatively sound bodywork, but a visual check for rust on the chassis and exhaust components remains prudent. Overall, the recent pass confirms current roadworthiness, while the prior brake wear and the mileage surge between 2024 and 2025 highlight areas that merit careful verification during an in‑person assessment.
