2014 Suzuki Swift 1.6L Petrol · FJ64 AEB

The vehicle's roadworthiness cannot be verified based on the provided data. The most recent MOT record dates back to September 28, 2021, meaning the car has not undergone a legal inspection for nearly five years. While that 2021 test at 74,503 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories, the current lack of up-to-date certification renders the maintenance trend unknown. The mileage of 74,503 miles is typical for a 2014 model, averaging roughly 6,209 miles per year. However, the mileage remained stagnant at 74,503 between the 2021 test and the current date of July 2026. This indicates the vehicle has likely been stationary for several years, which introduces specific mechanical risks associated with long-term storage. A buyer must prioritise a full mechanical inspection focusing on components that degrade during inactivity. Perished tyres, seized brake calipers, and degraded battery health are common outcomes of long periods standing. The inspector should specifically check for brake disc corrosion and ensure the fuel system has not suffered from varnish or moisture contamination. Attention must also be paid to the rubber components and structural integrity. Suspension bushes and coil springs can perish or seize when not regularly exercised. Given the age of the vehicle and the gap in testing, a thorough check for underbody corrosion is essential to ensure the chassis remains sound.
