2012 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · NJ62 HSL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection in September 2025 at 79,791 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner consistently addresses minor consumable failures to secure a retest pass. While the September 2025 test initially flagged an insufficient offside front tyre tread, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects suggests the owner is reactive to safety-critical faults once they are identified. At approximately 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 79,791 represents a low average of roughly 5,700 miles per year. This low usage profile typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to higher-mile vehicles. The interval between the October 2024 test at 74,021 miles and the September 2025 test at 79,791 miles shows consistent usage of 5,770 miles over the year, indicating steady and regular driving patterns rather than long periods of stationary neglect. A buyer should inspect the front suspension and alignment personally, as the 2023 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn on the edge often indicates underlying geometry issues or worn suspension bushes. The low mileage increases the risk of rubber components perished or cracking due to age rather than wear, so a thorough check of the control arm bushings and strut bolts is necessary. Given the 2024 failure for insufficient washer fluid, verify the pump and delivery lines for blockages or leaks to ensure the system remains fully functional.
