2014 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · NL14 XOP

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance history. The most recent test on 26 January 2026 at 55,430 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a non-functional nearside rear stop lamp, which was rectified immediately to allow a pass with no further defects. Prior to this minor electrical fault, the car maintained clean passes over the previous three years, indicating that the owner has consistently addressed basic safety requirements without encountering significant mechanical or structural failures. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 55,430 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per annum. The data shows a notable gap in usage between February 2024 at 31,786 miles and January 2025 at 42,928 miles, where the vehicle covered over 11,000 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and surface corrosion on brake discs due to lack of regular friction and use. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related wear that mileage-based metrics often mask. Focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these can perish or crack over time regardless of distance driven. Given the low usage, verify the brake system for seized calipers or pitted rotors resulting from sitting stationary. Additionally, check the chassis for early corrosion, particularly around the sills and mounting points, as the record shows no structural issues despite the vehicle's age.
