2014 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · MM14 SVO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a clean record to requiring reactive maintenance. While the car passed its 2023 and 2024 tests without defects, the May 2025 test at 58,745 miles introduced advisories for pitted front brake discs and perishing tyres. This suggests that while the vehicle is mechanically stable, age-related degradation is beginning to manifest despite the low annual mileage. The mileage profile is consistently low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. The data shows steady usage over the years, moving from 49,685 miles in July 2021 to 58,745 miles in May 2025. This low usage frequency explains the lack of heavy wear on drivetrain components, but it also explains the state of rubber-based items like tyres and brake seals, which degrade due to time and environmental exposure rather than distance traveled. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front braking system, as the record shows a recurring issue with worn discs back to 2021. The pitting and scoring noted in 2025 indicate that the rotors have suffered from corrosion, likely due to the vehicle sitting stationary. Additionally, all four tyres must be checked for deep sidewall cracking, as the tester flagged the rubber as potentially reaching the end of its functional life regardless of remaining tread depth. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also look for perished suspension bushes and leaking seals, as these components often dry out on vehicles that are used infrequently.
