2008 Suzuki Swift 1.5L Petrol · GF08 ADU

This Suzuki Swift is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 January 2026 at 98,523 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 28 January 2026 and 6 February 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly during the same visit. The mileage is notably low for an eighteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,474 miles per year. There has been a significant increase in usage recently. Between 9 February 2024 at 70,083 miles and 6 February 2025 at 84,697 miles, the car covered 14,614 miles. This trend continued into 2026, with the vehicle adding another 13,826 miles in less than a year. This shift from light use to higher annual mileage may accelerate the wear of remaining original components. A buyer should focus on structural integrity and rubber components during a physical inspection. The MOT history is unusually clean for a 2008 model, showing no advisories for corrosion or suspension wear over the last three years. Given the age of the car, it is rare for a vehicle to show zero defects across multiple tests. You should specifically check the chassis and sills for surface rust and inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, as these often degrade regardless of mileage. Check the brake discs and pads for wear given the recent increase in mileage. While the DVSA record shows no faults, a manual check of the tyre tread depth and date codes is advised to ensure they have not hardened over the periods of lower usage. Verify the service history to confirm that oil changes and filter replacements align with the recent jump in mileage.
