2013 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · FL13 VBP

The Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 December 2025 at 94,833 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating faults, advisories, or structural concerns across the available five-year record. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2013 car, averaging roughly 7,295 miles per year against the 94,833 recorded. The DVSA log tracks steady accumulation: 60,304 miles in December 2022, 71,724 in December 2023, 83,303 in December 2024, and 94,833 in December 2025. The only anomaly is a failed test on 18 December 2023 at 71,724 miles logged the same day as a pass at identical mileage with no defects cited, indicating an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault. The record is sparse but clean, with no consumable or mechanical issues flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken pass history. The MOT dataset omits suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, and underbody corrosion assessments that fall outside the test scope. At thirteen years old and near 95,000 miles, expect age-related degradation in rubber mountings and exhaust integrity not captured by a defect-free certificate. Previous keepers clearly kept the car to a basic statutory standard with no deferred tests or repeated failures. The absence of advisories across four passes suggests either light use or quiet running gear, but a pre-purchase check of tyre sidewall condition, brake binding, and chassis rust remains prudent given the vehicle's age.
