2015 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · LL15 GZV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2025-10-16 at 39,993 miles, though with two advisories: front suspension arm pin or bush wear and deteriorated rear suspension arm bushes. These same issues appeared in the failed test on the same day — indicating they were present but not yet safety-critical at the time of inspection. The fact that both suspension items were flagged repeatedly across consecutive tests, without resolution before retest, suggests a stable but unresolved mechanical condition rather than sudden deterioration; no new major defects have emerged since 2023, and the earlier MOTs from 2024 and 2023 were clean. Mileage accumulation has been consistently low and steady: 2,169 miles between January 2024 and November 2024, then 3,022 miles over the following 12 months to October 2025. This equates to an average of under 3,650 miles per year across its 11-year life, well below typical UK usage. There are no unexplained gaps or surges — the record shows regular annual testing with incremental, modest mileage increases, consistent with light private use or occasional driving. A buyer should inspect the front lower suspension arms for play or cracking around the pivot bush and pin, and check both rear suspension arm bushes for splitting, perishing, or loss of rubber integrity — these are the only recurring mechanical concerns logged. The offside rear stop lamp and offside front wiper function must be verified and repaired if faulty, as both were cited in the October 2025 failure. Tyres, brake pads, and discs should also be assessed independently, as low annual mileage can mask uneven wear or dry-rot in rubber components, particularly given the car’s age and potential for extended static periods. No corrosion, structural damage, or exhaust emissions faults appear in the record.
