2008 Suzuki Swift 1.5L Petrol · LR58 WWO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 28 October 2025 at 118,566 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern where the car is consistently brought up to standard immediately following initial failures. The recurring failures and passes in 2024 and 2025 suggest that the owners rectify minor defects, such as blown bulbs or minor mechanical adjustments, promptly before or during the testing re-test. At 118,566 miles, the Suzuki Swift averages approximately 6,587 miles per year over its eighteen-year lifespan. This aligns with typical low-to-moderate annual usage. The record shows consistent activity, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between the November 2023 and November 2024 tests, and another 6,255 miles covered between November 2024 and October 2025. This steady mileage pattern is generally preferable for mechanical components than long periods of inactivity which can lead to perished seals and brake corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components common to this age group. While the MOT record is clean of advisories, the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of surface rust starting on the sills and rear mounting points. Inspect the control arm bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often wear before they trigger a formal MOT failure. Given the mileage, check the brake discs for uneven wear and ensure the calipers are not binding, as the recent history does not specifically flag these issues.
