2012 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · FJ12 VDP

The Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 January 2026 at 96,868 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual passes show no advisories or faults. The vehicle's history indicates consistent upkeep with no worsening mechanical issues across the observed period. Recorded mileage sits at 96,868 against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 6,900 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The DVSA data shows steady annual accumulation: 80,345 miles in January 2023, 84,231 in January 2024, 89,584 in January 2025, and 96,868 in January 2026. A minor anomaly appears in January 2024 when the car failed on 24 January at 84,228 miles yet passed two days later at 84,231 miles with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, clean record gives limited insight but implies the previous owner kept basic consumables and structure in order. With no advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across five years, a buyer should still verify in person that the test-clean status reflects reality. Inspect underbody structural integrity for hidden rust, check coil springs and calipers for binding, and confirm tyre tread and wiper condition. The lack of flagged wear means no recurring problem trend exists, but a 14-year-old vehicle merits a hands-on check of chassis and drivetrain before purchase.
