2012 Suzuki Swift 1.6L Petrol · MA55 RTX

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 11 April 2025 at 52,848 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent four-year trend of clean passes dating back to March 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is remarkably low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 3,775 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last five years, growing from 32,964 miles in March 2021 to 52,848 miles by April 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing history that would suggest undisclosed heavy use or prolonged periods of abandonment. While the MOT record is flawless, the low annual mileage introduces specific risks associated with vehicle dormancy. A buyer should personally inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, as brakes often seize when underused. Rubber components, including tyre sidewalls and suspension bushes, can perish from age regardless of mileage, so these should be checked for cracking. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding structural integrity or exhaust emissions is a positive indicator for a car of this age. However, since the MOT is a snapshot of safety rather than a comprehensive mechanical health check, a physical inspection of the underbody for rust is still advised. Focus on the chassis rails and suspension mounting points to ensure the low mileage has not masked environmental corrosion.
