2012 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · LS62 HLO

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 20 February 2026 at 99,682 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the car is currently in a compliant mechanical state. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,120 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the testing history between June 2022 and February 2026, during which the car covered 3,876 miles. This suggests a period of light use or potential storage. A significant jump in mileage occurred between January 2020 and May 2021, where the odometer rose from 67,686 to 81,371 miles. The MOT record is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, with almost no recorded defects across five years of testing. One failure occurred on 5 February 2021 at 79,158 miles, though the record lists no specific defects, which is atypical for a failed test. This lack of data on the failure makes it difficult to identify specific historical weaknesses. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Given the age of the car, check for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing. While the records show no binding calipers or worn brake discs, a manual check of the fluid levels and pedal feel is advised to ensure the vehicle was maintained during the four year gap in testing.
