2015 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · LO64 AON

The vehicle remains roadworthy as evidenced by its most recent MOT pass in February 2026 at 64,826 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern of minor consumable-related defects rather than escalating mechanical failure. While the car consistently passes tests, the recurring advisories regarding rubber components and suspension bushings suggest a reactive maintenance approach where parts are addressed only as they approach inspection thresholds. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 64,826 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between annual tests, such as the 3,325 miles driven between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests. This low-mileage profile suggests the vehicle has faced less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, but it also correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components due to age and oxidation rather than distance. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension, as the tester flagged worn suspension arm pins and bushes in both 2023 and 2024. Although these did not result in an MOT failure at the time, they indicate the beginning of the end of the life for these components. The front brake discs were noted as worn in 2022 at 47,560 miles, requiring a physical check of current thickness to ensure they have been replaced. The history also highlights a persistent issue with tyre perishing and cracking across all four corners from 2022 through 2026. This is a classic symptom of low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods, causing the rubber compound to dry out despite sufficient tread depth. An inspection of the sidewalls for deep cracking is essential, as the current tyres are likely nearing their structural limit regardless of their remaining tread.
