2014 Suzuki Swift SZ3 1.2L Petrol · NL14 LRN

This vehicle presents a consistent record of roadworthiness with seven consecutive MOT passes and a total absence of recorded defects or advisories. The most recent test on 13 May 2026 confirms this pattern, as the vehicle has not required any corrective work or flagged any wear-and-tear items across its entire documented testing history. The recorded mileage of 68,371 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,698 miles over twelve years. A notable gap in testing occurs between April 2019 and October 2021, indicating a period where the vehicle was not presented for an MOT. While low-mileage usage typically results in reduced wear on the drivetrain and suspension, extended periods of inactivity can affect the condition of rubber components and fluid systems. Because the MOT history is devoid of advisories, there are no specific failing components such as suspension linkages or brake pipes to target. However, given the period of inactivity identified in the records, a test drive should focus on identifying any signs of seizure or degradation. Listen for any unusual knocks or clicks from the suspension during low-speed maneuvering and check for any unevenness in brake pedal feel, which could indicate binding calipers. A physical inspection should focus on the chassis and underside for any signs of surface corrosion that may not have reached the threshold for an MOT advisory, specifically around the wheel arches and subframe. During the test drive, ensure the steering is precise and free from play, and verify that the engine reaches operating temperature smoothly without erratic idling, which is a relevant check for a vehicle with a history of low annual usage.
