2016 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · LM66 YNX

The 2025‑10‑20 MOT at 50,231 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA roadworthiness standards and that the maintenance trend has remained stable since the previous failure. Mileage data show a low average annual usage of roughly 5,000 miles for a 2016 model, but the progression is uneven: 33,159 miles in October 2022, 34,371 miles in October 2023 (the year of the failure), a jump to 41,699 miles by November 2024, and the final reading of 50,231 miles in October 2025, indicating periods of increased use followed by relative inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear service brakes that displayed excessive binding in the 2023 failure, checking caliper pins, brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, while also verifying headlamp aim and checking for any structural rust or exhaust wear that could affect long‑term durability. The recent clean record suggests the previous issues have been addressed, yet a thorough in‑person assessment of the braking and suspension assemblies remains essential before final purchase.
