2015 Suzuki Swift 1.6L Petrol · LR15 XHD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, holding a clean pass from its most recent inspection in June 2025 at 81,848 miles. The maintenance trend appears to be improving as the owner has successfully addressed mechanical and electrical failures identified in previous years. While the history shows a pattern of reactive repairs, the lack of any advisories on the latest certificate indicates that the primary concerns were resolved and the vehicle meets current standards. At 81,848 miles over eleven years, the Suzuki Swift averages approximately 7,400 miles per annum. This figure aligns with typical usage patterns for a small city car. The mileage data shows consistent intervals, with roughly 6,500 miles covered between June 2023 and May 2024, and another 6,900 miles leading into the 2025 test. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and internal corrosion within fluid systems. A buyer should pay close attention to the engine bay to ensure the excessive oil leak reported in the May 2024 test has been permanently rectified. Although the car passed in 2025 without defects, a leak from the pressure relief system can recur if only a temporary seal was cleaned rather than replaced. Additionally, the rear brake discs were flagged for pitting and scoring in 2024. A physical inspection should verify that new discs and pads were installed and that the calipers are not binding, which would lead to premature uneven wear. The tyre pressure monitoring system and registration plate lamps were noted failures in 2023. While these are minor electrical issues, a prospective buyer should check the dashboard for warning lights and test the rear illumination to ensure these faults were fixed and are not indicative of deeper wiring issues. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check should also look for surface corrosion on the structural sills, though the MOT record does not currently highlight any structural integrity concerns.
