2012 Suzuki Swift 1.6L Petrol · NL12 TYA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by three consecutive MOT passes without any recorded failures. The most recent test conducted on 20 March 2024 at 86,132 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistency suggests a reliable standard of maintenance and indicates the previous owners have addressed potential mechanical or safety issues before they reached the threshold of a testing failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent with a low-useage vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,152 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2023, the car covered 9,097 miles, followed by an additional 8,764 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This steady usage indicates the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than sitting for extended periods. Such low annual mileage typically reduces the inherent wear on the drivetrain components, engine, and braking system compared to higher-mileage examples of the same era. While the MOT history is clean, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. The buyer should check the rubber-based suspension bushes for signs of cracking or perishing and inspect the coil springs for corrosion, particularly around the mounting points. Given the low annual mileage, it is also vital to examine the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, which can occur when vehicles are not used frequently enough to clear away oxidation.
