2014 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · LO64 OEF

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its last five MOT tests despite recurring consumable issues. The most recent test in June 2025 at 60,808 miles showed a pass with an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and unevenly. This follows a pattern seen in June 2024 at 53,325 miles regarding an offside rear tyre. While the core mechanical components have consistently passed, the recurring tyre alerts suggest a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive replacement. The mileage profile is notably low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent, incremental growth, moving from 30,445 miles in June 2021 to 60,808 miles by the June 2025 test. This low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine-related components, though it can also lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, and brake corrosion due to infrequent use. The clean records from 2022 and 2023 indicate periods where the vehicle operated without significant mechanical stress or failure. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and wheel geometry, given the repeated reports of uneven tyre wear across different axles and years. This often indicates a misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes that require adjustment. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should also inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers, which are common in vehicles that sit for extended periods. The absence of structural corrosion advisories in the history is a positive, but a thorough check of the underbody remains necessary to ensure no hidden rust has developed despite the low mileage.
