2018 Suzuki Swift 1.0L Petrol · FG18 HYC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on June 8, 2026 at 79,780 miles. This recent result shows an improving trend, as the car moved from a state of multiple defects in the previous year to having no recorded faults. This suggests that the previous owner proactively addressed the maintenance issues identified during the 2024 inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between the May 2022 test at 55,412 miles and the June 2026 test at 79,780 miles, the car covered 24,368 miles. This steady accumulation indicates regular road use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for maintaining components like engine seals, brake calipers, and suspension bushings that can otherwise seize. The June 2024 test at 70,519 miles highlights the only period of noted neglect in the record. The tester flagged front tyres worn close to the legal limit, a perished nearside rear tyre, and a nail in the offside rear tyre. While these are consumable-related issues rather than mechanical failures, buyers should verify the current tyre set to ensure they have been replaced with adequate quality rubber. Given the lack of structural corrosion or mechanical failures noted in the history, a physical inspection should focus on checking the condition of the suspension components and looking for any uneven brake wear to ensure the vehicle remains in its current high standard.
