2011 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · HG11 ACF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 19 August 2025 at 133,083 miles with no defects recorded. The history shows a consistent pattern of successful testing despite initial failures immediately preceding the passes in both 2024 and 2025. The fact that the car achieved a clean test sheet following these failures suggests that the previous owner addressed specific reactive issues to meet the minimum safety standards, rather than allowing a trend of worsening mechanical or structural degradation. At 133,083 miles over approximately 15 years, this Suzuki Swift has averaged roughly 8,872 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a small hatchback. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage with roughly 7,000 miles covered between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 7,000 miles recorded between August 2024 and August 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used for consistent commuting rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which often leads to seized brake calipers or perished rubber suspension components. While the recent records are clean, the recurring failures in 2024 and 2025 indicate that the vehicle occasionally operates on the margin of legal compliance. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the chassis for structural corrosion around the mounting points, as these are common areas of failure on this model. Given the mileage and age, checking the condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers is essential to ensure there is no excessive play. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs and pads for thinning or pitting to ensure that the issues which caused the previous failures were properly rectified rather than masked by a temporary repair.
