2008 Suzuki Swift 1.5L Petrol · LM08 MVS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection. The August 2025 test at 96,826 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of successful testing, suggesting that previous mechanical issues have been resolved and the vehicle is currently maintaining a consistent standard of upkeep. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,379 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 92,116 miles in August 2023 to 96,826 miles in August 2025. This low annual usage often indicates light commuting or shorter trips, though it can sometimes lead to neglected maintenance on components that require regular use, such as brake discs or battery terminals. The MOT history shows two instances of failure in August 2023 and August 2024, though the specific reasons for these failures were not documented in the provided record. While the vehicle has since passed all subsequent tests, a buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to check for structural corrosion. Given the age and low mileage, it is prudent to examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and drive shafts to ensure no age-related degradation has occurred during periods of light use. A mechanical inspection should also focus on the braking system and exhaust emissions. While the most recent records show no issues, the previous failures suggest that consumables or emissions components may have required attention in the past. Verifying the thickness of the brake discs and the integrity of the exhaust system will confirm that the vehicle's current passing status reflects genuine mechanical health rather than just the absence of recorded defects.
