2014 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · NA14 LFS

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 25 July 2025 at 106,760 miles. While the most recent result shows no defects, the maintenance trend shows a sudden and significant decline in upkeep standards. The 2025 test followed a failure just one day prior, where the tester flagged multiple critical issues including a fractured offside front coil spring, a minor exhaust leak, and several tyres with exposed cords or insufficient tread. This pattern suggests a period of neglect regarding basic consumable maintenance and immediate mechanical repairs. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 8,900 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 74,329 miles in July 2022 to 106,760 miles in July 2025. This gradual increase indicates regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity. The absence of any major mileage jumps suggests the odometer readings are likely reliable and reflect typical suburban or commuter usage patterns. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system and tyres. The 2025 failure for a broken coil spring and the 2024 advisory for perishing rear tyres indicate that rubber components and suspension hardware are reaching the end of their service life. You must check the condition of all four shock absorbers and suspension bushes to ensure no further structural fatigue exists. The recent exhaust gas leak noted in the July 2025 failure warrants a close inspection of the exhaust manifold and rear silencer for corrosion or mounting failures. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent test, the sudden appearance of multiple tyre defects and a broken spring suggests the previous owner may have deferred essential maintenance. Verify that all recent repairs were carried out to a professional standard and that no further issues persist with the braking lights or tyre integrity.
