2012 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · JW61 AAA

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift towards neglected consumable items. While the most recent test in October 2025 passed, it introduced advisories regarding pitted and scored front brake discs and both front tyres reaching the legal wear limit. This represents a departure from the clean 2023 and 2024 records, suggesting that the vehicle is now requiring more immediate preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. There is a consistent and slow accumulation of mileage between tests, moving from 35,528 miles in late 2021 to 51,632 miles in late 2025. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it often leads to components like brake discs and rubber seals deteriorating due to long periods of stationary time. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front braking system, as the recorded pitting and scoring indicate the discs likely require replacement to ensure effective stopping. Given the recurring nature of tyres reaching the legal limit across three out of the last four tests, a check of the remaining tread depth and alignment is necessary to determine if uneven wear is a persistent issue. Additionally, the low mileage warrants a check of the underside for age-related corrosion and perished rubber bushings, which can affect vehicles of this era irrespective of the distance driven.
