2015 Swift Autocruise 2.2L Diesel · HT15 LHH

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-28 recorded general surface rust on suspension and chassis components, along with corroded rear leaf springs. These findings indicate ongoing corrosion issues, which may worsen over time if not addressed. The 2023 MOT also noted suspension corrosion, suggesting a recurring problem that has not been resolved. The vehicle’s MOT history shows a pattern of minor corrosion and wear, with no serious defects in 2024 and 2022. However, the 2023 MOT highlighted front brake disc wear and tyres near the legal limit, which were not repeated in later tests. This suggests some issues were repaired or mitigated, but corrosion remains a persistent concern. The trend in defects appears to be stable overall, with no new major risks identified in the last two MOTs. However, the progression of rust and corrosion—particularly on suspension components—indicates a gradual deterioration that could affect structural integrity or functionality if left unchecked. The vehicle’s low mileage (3,509 miles per year) raises questions about usage patterns. While lower mileage often correlates with less wear, it may also reflect periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion in exposed metal parts.
