2017 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · KA03 FRO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test on 19 December 2025 at 76,123 miles passed only after a failure due to significantly worn front brake discs and an inoperative registration plate lamp. While the vehicle passed the re-test, the recurring nature of lighting and brake advisories suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults once they reached the point of legal failure. At 76,123 miles over a nine-year period, the Swift has averaged approximately 8,458 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a small city car. The data shows consistent annual usage with roughly 13,000 miles between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests. This steady mileage suggests the car has not sat for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber seals and battery health, though the mileage level is where expected wear on components like the braking system and suspension bushings begins. A buyer must inspect the braking system closely, as the record shows thin pads at 61,949 miles and worn discs just 14,000 miles later. The handbrake also showed signs of high travel in the December 2025 test, indicating the cables may require adjustment or replacement soon. Attention should also be paid to the electrical system, as multiple failures regarding registration lamps and headlamps across the last three years indicate a lack of basic bulb checks prior to testing. Check the tyres for uneven wear, as the 2023 and 2024 records flagged both under-inflation and edge-wearing.
