2010 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · KX60 YVD

The Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 May 2025 at 81,685 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failure entry carrying no defects, which points to an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Across the four preceding annual tests from May 2022 to May 2025, the vehicle passed each time with no advisories, indicating consistent mechanical condition over the period. Recorded mileage sits at 81,685 against a 2010 build, an average of roughly 5,105 miles per year. The odometer moved only 1,698 miles between the May 2024 test at 79,987 miles and the May 2025 test at 81,685 miles, and 2,541 miles across the 2023 to 2024 interval. Such low annual use for a sixteen year old car suggests extended standing periods are likely, which can accelerate rubber perishing and corrosion even where the MOT shows a clean sheet. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points, as low mileage and long idle spells often conceal surface corrosion not yet severe enough for a tester to record. Brake discs and calipers warrant checks for binding or pitting after prolonged disuse. The absence of any flagged exhaust emissions or structural integrity concerns in the official record is a positive sign, but the duplicate May 2025 entries should be clarified with DVSA before purchase to confirm no suppressed defect exists.
