2007 Suzuki Swift 1.3L Petrol · HN07 FDP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile despite occasional minor MOT failures. The most recent test on 3 July 2025 at 151,175 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car currently meets minimum safety standards. While the history shows two failures in June 2024 and June 2025, the immediate passes following these tests suggest that any identified faults were promptly addressed and rectified rather than representing a deep-seated mechanical decline. At a recorded mileage of 151,175 miles over 19 years, the Suzuki has averaged approximately 7,957 miles per year. This figure aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a hatchback of this age. The data shows a steady progression in mileage, with 18,850 miles covered between the July 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 24,099 miles covered between June 2024 and July 2025. This consistent use suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which often helps prevent internal corrosion and seal degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most likely to wear at this 150,000-mile threshold. Given the age of the vehicle, a close look at the suspension control arm bushes and coil springs is essential to check for perished rubber or fractures. The buyer should also inspect the structural integrity of the sills and mounting points for corrosion, as older Suzutis are prone to surface rust. While the MOT record is currently clean of advisories, the high mileage necessitates a check of brake disc thickness and caliper condition to ensure no significant binding or uneven wear has occurred.
