2017 Suzuki Swift 1.0L Petrol · KR67 YDC

The Suzuki Swift presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 8 December 2025 at 42,537 miles resulted in a clean pass with zero defects recorded. This outcome, combined with a consistent pattern of passes across the last three years, indicates a well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical or structural faults currently flagged by the DVSA. The maintenance trend is stable and improving, as the car has moved from a failed test in December 2023 to consecutive clean passes. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of light, steady use. The vehicle accumulated 33,042 miles by December 2023 and reached 42,537 miles by December 2025, adding 9,495 miles over two years, or roughly 4,747 miles annually. This aligns closely with the overall lifetime average of 4,726 miles per year. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest long periods of disuse or odometer anomalies. The two failed tests on 6 December 2023 and 8 December 2025 both show no defects recorded, which typically indicates administrative or procedural failures such as missing documentation or booking errors rather than mechanical faults, followed by immediate retests. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. The 2017 Swift is now nine years old, and components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers may show age-related deterioration even if they have not yet reached a test-failure threshold. Check the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, sills, and the exhaust system, as these areas can degrade without triggering an MOT advisory until advanced. Inspect the brake discs, pads, and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and verify that all tyres have even tread depth with no sidewall damage. Test the operation of all lights, wipers, and washers, and confirm the exhaust emissions are clean on cold start. A short road test will reveal any steering play, suspension knocking, or gearbox issues that a static inspection might miss.
