2009 Suzuki Swift 1.5L Petrol · FN59 WTZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean record across its most recent inspections. The latest MOT test on 18 August 2025 at 145,371 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite a failure on the same day. This suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying whatever issues the tester identified immediately upon arrival. Since the 2024 pass, the car has maintained its status without further recorded failures, indicating a period of consistent mechanical stability. At 17 years old, the 145,371 recorded miles represent approximately 8,551 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a small hatchback. The mileage data shows consistent use, with 7,916 miles covered between September 2023 and August 2024, and another 7,850 miles recorded between August 2024 and August 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals, hoses, and fluid systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components common to a Suzuki Swift of this age and mileage. While the MOT history is currently clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points where rust often develops. Given the consistent mileage, checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs is essential to ensure there is no excessive play or wear. Testing the brake system for binding calipers or thin discs is also advisable, as the MOT record does not detail the remaining life of these consumable components unless they fail the test.
