2014 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · KM64 VLR

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in June 2025 at 80,055 miles passed with an advisory for general underbody corrosion. This follows a significant failure in March 2024 where multiple safety-critical issues including brake pipes and seat belt buckles were identified. While the immediate mechanical failures have have been rectified, the presence of underbody rust suggests the vehicle is entering a stage where structural degradation begins. At 80,055 miles, the car has averaged approximately 6,670 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle. There is a notable gap in records between the October 2022 test at 70,570 miles and the March 2024 test at 78,690 miles, representing over 8,000 miles in 17 months. The consistent mileage accumulation suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, but the low annual mileage often masks wear on rubber components and brake lines that age regardless of distance. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to assess the extent of the general corrosion noted in 2025. The 2024 failure regarding corroded rear brake pipes indicates a vulnerability to environmental damage, so these lines should be checked for further thinning or weeping at the flare joints. The previous central front oil leak noted in 2024 should also be verified to ensure it has not worsened into a significant leak since the last test. Given the history of worn tyres and parking brake travel issues, the entire braking system and suspension bushes require close scrutiny to ensure they remain within operational tolerances.
