2018 Suzuki Swift 1.4L Petrol · FL18 ECN

The Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 76,613 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date with no defects logged, which points to an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in June 2024, June 2023, and June 2022 all passed cleanly with no advisories, showing the vehicle has avoided recurring workshop issues across its four most recent annual examinations. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eight year old car. The record shows 40,085 miles in June 2022, jumping to 62,754 by June 2023, a 22,669 mile year that is well above the longer term average of roughly 9,577 miles per annum. Distance covered then settled to 9,414 miles to June 2024 and 4,445 miles to June 2025, indicating lighter recent use. The sparse, clean history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still confirm in person that the brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust emissions remain within tolerance, as the Swift has not flagged any advisories that would prompt earlier intervention. The same day fail and pass in June 2025 warrants a check of the VOSA refusal reason to rule out a documentation or identification mismatch rather than a concealed defect. Given the absence of corrosion, binding calipers, or worn coil springs across the record, the mechanical risk profile is low. Inspect underneath for early structural rust and verify tyre tread depth, since no test has prompted a measurable wear note.
