AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The most recent MOT on 3 November 2025 recorded a pass at 29,302 miles with no defects noted, confirming the vehicle was roadworthy at that date. Across the five annual tests the outcome has remained consistently passing, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than any worsening or improving pattern. For a 2016 Suzuki Swift, the recorded mileage of 29,302 miles translates to roughly 2,930 miles per year, well below the average utilisation for a vehicle of this age. Mileage increments between tests are modest – 23,207 miles in November 2022, 25,007 miles in November 2023 (+1,800 miles), 26,573 miles in November 2024 (+1,566 miles) and 29,302 miles in November 2025 (+2,729 miles) – suggesting light use and no periods of rapid accumulation. With no recorded advisories or failures, the buyer should focus on components that typically wear regardless of MOT findings. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, verify brake pad and disc thickness for even wear, and feel for any play in the suspension bushes or coil springs. Examine the exhaust system for cracks or corrosion, and check the chassis and wheel arches for rust that may not have triggered a MOT advisory. The duplicate fail entry on the same date carries no defect details, so it likely reflects an administrative issue rather than a mechanical concern.
