2018 Suzuki Swift 1.0L Petrol · KM18 CPK

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a consistent trend of neglect regarding cosmetic body and rubber components. The most recent test in March 2026 at 12,363 miles passed the vehicle despite all four tyres being flagged for perishing and cracking in the tread. While the car passes, the recurring nature of these advisories across multiple years suggests the vehicle likely sits for long periods, leading to material degradation regardless of remaining tread depth. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging only 1,545 miles per year. Between the March 2022 test at 5,562 miles and the March 2026 test at 12,363 miles, the car covered just 6,801 miles over four years, confirming a very low-use pattern. This low mileage explains the lack of mechanical wear on the drivetrain, but it correlates directly with the persistent tyre issues, as rubber compounds dry and crack due to age and lack of regular movement. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the offside front integral body structure noted in April 2024 at 9,283 miles. Although the tester stated structural rigidity was not significantly reduced, the deformation indicates a past impact that warrants a close look for hidden stress or alignment issues. The repeated minor damage to mirror housings, wings, and doors suggests a history of minor collisions or parking incidents that the owner has chosen not to repair. Given the low usage, the buyer should specifically inspect the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, which often occurs on vehicles that remain stationary. The tyres require immediate replacement as they have been flagged for perishing for three consecutive years. Beyond these obvious cosmetic and rubber issues, the record shows no evidence of mechanical failures, suggesting the core components remain relatively fresh.
