2014 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · FN14 ODS

The 2014 Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 February 2026 at 48,491 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior three annual tests also passed clean. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, so the record shows no worsening or recurring problems. The odometer sat at 27,071 miles for the January 2023 test, then 32,252 miles when the car failed and passed on the same day in February 2024, 39,490 miles in January 2025, and 48,491 miles in February 2026. That averages roughly 4,000 miles per year across a twelve-year-old car, confirming very light use. The only anomaly is the 5 February 2024 entry showing a fail at 32,252 miles immediately followed by a pass at 32,254 miles with no defects listed; this suggests an administrative or data-recording error at the test centre rather than a genuine mechanical defect. Given the clean MOT trail, the previous owners clearly kept basic upkeep current and avoided letting consumables or structural items lapse. Low annual mileage does mean the Swift may have stood unused for extended periods, which can encourage perished rubber components and surface corrosion even when the tester finds nothing. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, brake calipers, and underbody structural integrity for moisture-related degradation. In person, check the exhaust system and brake discs for light-use rust pitting, and confirm tyre sidewalls have not cracked from age rather than wear. The history gives no cause for concern, but a physical inspection remains sensible on any twelve-year-old vehicle.
