2015 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · LS65 GVW

The Suzuki Swift’s most recent MOT test on 2025-10-07—just nine months ago—shows a clean pass with no defects recorded, despite a duplicate entry suggesting a rare administrative anomaly. The absence of advisories or failures across all five tests indicates the vehicle has consistently met DVSA’s minimum roadworthiness standards. However, the October 2025 test’s proximity to the current date (July 2026) means no recent mechanical history exists beyond this single pass. Without further data, there is no evidence of recurring issues or worsening conditions, but the lack of a 2026 test precludes confirmation of ongoing maintenance. The recorded mileage of 35,211 miles over 11 years—approximately 3,200 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either minimal use or prolonged periods of storage. The gap between tests is consistent at one year, with no sudden spikes or drops in mileage between 2022 and 2025. The most notable outlier is the 9,305-mile jump between the 2022 and 2023 tests, but even this remains within reasonable bounds for a lightly driven car. The lack of advisories or failures implies that even during periods of higher mileage, the vehicle was likely maintained at a basic level to avoid MOT failures. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that are not directly tested by the MOT but critical for long-term reliability. Focus on the suspension—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—for excessive play or corrosion, as these are not routinely checked by the tester. The brakes, while not failed in tests, should be scrutinised for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs, which could indicate past neglect. Tyre tread depth, though not flagged, may have degraded since the last test; verify the remaining depth and check for uneven wear patterns that could point to alignment or suspension issues. Finally, inspect the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the exhaust system, as these areas are prone to rust in a vehicle of this age and mileage.
