2006 Suzuki Swift 1.5L Petrol · LC06 ACJ

The 2006 Suzuki Swift remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 25 October 2025 at 27,490 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend stays stable across the five-year record. The tester failed the car on 23 October 2024 at 27,094 miles yet logged no faults, then passed it eight days later at 27,096 miles, indicating a procedural quirk rather than mechanical defect. Mileage data shows exceptionally light use for a vehicle approaching twenty years old. The odometer read 25,624 miles at the 28 October 2022 test, climbed to 26,429 by 23 October 2023, reached 27,094 on 23 October 2024, and showed 27,490 at the October 2025 test. Annual additions of roughly 800, 665 and 394 miles confirm a pattern of short local running or prolonged storage. No testing gaps appear beyond the standard twelve-month interval. Buyers should still inspect components that clean MOT sheets do not flag. The tester raised no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or structural corrosion, but a low-mileage Swift of this age often conceals perished rubber and seized calipers from standing. A physical check under the subframe for rust, measurement of brake disc runout, and verification of exhaust condition remain prudent. The unexplained failure in late 2024 demands review of the certificate and V5 to confirm no administrative error undermines the record.
