2014 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · NA14 LFN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its latest inspection in October 2025 with 162,962 miles. This recent result indicates a stable maintenance trend, as previous mechanical and electrical defects were addressed. While the history shows intermittent failures related to minor items, the absence of any defects in the most recent test suggests the current owner is keeping the car up to basic legal operational standards. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 13,500 miles per year. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the car covered 13,897 miles, demonstrating consistent and heavy annual use. This high mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The intervals between tests remain consistent at an annual cycle, which suggests the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting stationary for long periods between inspections. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension and steering geometry, as the 2022 failure regarding the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint indicates that these components are prone to wear under load. The 2024 advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn on the edge suggests a potential alignment issue or worn shock absorber that should be verified across the entire axle. Given the high total mileage, a thorough check of the brake discs for thinning and an inspection of the chassis for corrosion are essential to ensure the structural integrity has not reached the end of its functional life.
