2015 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · LO64 AOS

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 10 November 2025 at 25,615 miles. While the mechanical trend appears stable in terms of passing, there is a recurring pattern of tyre related issues over the last four years. The tester flagged an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit in the most recent test, indicating a lack of proactive consumable replacement despite the overall passing status. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,300 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 14,449 miles and November 2025 at 25,615 miles, the car covered only 11,166 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle has likely sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components. The repeated mentions of cracking and perishing the nearside front tyre from 2022 through 2025 confirm that the rubber is failing due to age rather than tread wear. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of all rubber components, as the low mileage increases the risk of dry rot in suspension bushes, engine mounts, and brake hoses. The brake system should be checked for seized or binding calipers, which are common in vehicles that are used infrequently. Given the offside front tyre was noted worn on the edge in 2025, a wheel alignment check is necessary to ensure the uneven wear is not caused by misaligned geometry.
