2011 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · ML11 NWB

This 2011 Suzuki Swift has a relatively clean MOT history, though the most recent inspection in December 2025 shows the beginning of some mechanical wear. While it passed its latest test, the advisory regarding a worn offside front suspension arm bush and a severely deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage dust cover indicates that rubber components are starting to perish. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be transitioning from a period of being fault-free to showing signs of age-related deterioration. The jump from a clean pass in 2024 to advisory defects in late 2025 suggests that while the car is mechanically sound, the rubber bushings and boots are reaching the end of their service life. With only 42,778 miles recorded over 15 years, the mileage is significantly lower than average. This suggests light annual usage, but such low mileage can be a double-edged sword. It may imply the car has been well-cared for, but it can also mean the vehicle has spent long periods stationary, which often leads to the exact type of rubber degradation and perished dust covers seen in the latest MOT. The mileage signal is somewhat ambiguous; while it reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the risk of age-related decay in seals, hoses, and suspension components. Before purchasing, you should personally inspect the condition of all suspension bushings and rubber boots to ensure they aren't cracking, and check that all exterior lighting is fully operational.
