2014 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · KL13 BAL

The overall roadworthiness status for the 2014 Suzuki Swift is currently failing. The most recent MOT on 2025-08-06 at 66,715 miles failed on the offside front position lamp, indicating a critical mechanical failure that has not been resolved. This failure represents a significant hazard, but it does not necessarily mean the vehicle is unsafe in the short term; it suggests the issue may be intermittent and potentially recoverable if addressed. The mileage pattern is exceptionally poor, with a gap of 12 years between the most recent test and the last recorded one. The 2025-08-06 test was conducted at 66,715 miles, which is approximately 12 years old, but the vehicle has only had a single MOT recorded at that mileage. This lack of an MOT in the past 12 years suggests that the owner has likely skipped basic upkeep entirely, relying on the vehicle to sit idle. While the vehicle may have been driven for a long time, the absence of maintenance records implies that the car has been stored or parked without proper checks, which is a major risk factor for structural damage. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the severity of the current failure and the history of previous owners. Given the failed 2025-08-06 test, the most immediate concern is the integrity of the front brake components and the condition of the offside front wheel. The 2025-08-06 record also flags a distorted wheel, which may indicate corrosion or damage to the suspension bushings. The history of a central parking brake lever being defective at 45,243 miles suggests that the vehicle may have been frequently driven, but this does not negate the risk of suspension bushing wear or structural damage from the 12-year gap.
