MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Suzuki Swift (FX08 UPB) between March 2011 and August 2025.

The record contains 15 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 22 August 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (14 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 14 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”; “Nearside Front Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Central Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (6.1.2 (a))”.
