2009 Suzuki Swift 1.3L Petrol · NG09 CCY

Chronic corrosion of the braking system and deteriorating front suspension components define the mechanical history of this vehicle. While it achieved a pass on 23 July 2026, the record shows a persistent struggle with brake pipe integrity, moving from major rear pipe failures in 2024 to current advisories regarding the front brake pipes. This trend, combined with recurring issues regarding worn brake discs and corroding coil springs, indicates a vehicle where hydraulic and structural corrosion is a primary concern. The recorded mileage of 105,328 miles represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,196 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. This level of usage generally results in a balanced wear pattern across the drivetrain, though the consistent appearance of suspension bush deterioration and brake component wear indicates that the vehicle has been subject to standard operational stresses over its lifespan. There are no significant gaps in the testing history to suggest prolonged periods of inactivity. Particular attention must be paid to the braking system during a physical inspection. The history of excessive corrosion in the rear brake pipes and the current advisories for the front pipes and pitted discs indicate a need for a thorough check of all hydraulic lines for signs of further degradation. Additionally, the 2024 note regarding manufacturer sill covers obscuring a full inspection is a point of concern; a prospective buyer should ensure that these covers are removed or the sills are inspected via a lift to verify the structural integrity of the chassis. The front suspension has been flagged for worn arm bushes since 2023, and the most recent test added corroded coil springs to the list of advisories. During a test drive, listen for knocks or clunks when traversing speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, and feel for any instability or steering vagueness that would indicate excessive movement in the suspension linkages. Any shuddering or pulsation through the brake pedal may also be linked to the recorded pitting and wear of the front brake discs.
