2012 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · NU12 MLN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of annual testing. The most recent inspection on 12 February 2025 at 146,344 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure on the previous day. This pattern suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying immediate issues to ensure the vehicle meets minimum legal standards. There is no evidence of worsening mechanical degradation or recurring structural failures in the recorded data. The recorded mileage of 146,344 miles over 14 years reflects an average of approximately 10,453 miles per annum. This aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a hatchback of this age. The data shows steady progression, with roughly 3,500 miles driven between the February 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 2,600 miles between February 2024 and 2025. This consistent interval indicates the vehicle is used regularly rather than left sitting for long periods which generally helps prevent seals. While the MOT record is clean of recent defects, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear components typical for a Suzuki at this mileage. The buyer must examine the suspension for perished rubber bushes and worn coil springs, which often lose integrity after 140,000 miles. Given the age, checking brake discs for excessive pitting and inspecting calipers for binding is essential to ensure the system remains effective. Attention should also be paid to corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, as the MOT only identifies structural rust once it reaches a point of failure.
