2015 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · OV65 AEC

The most recent 2025‑09‑23 MOT passed, confirming that the Suzuki Swift is presently roadworthy, though the preceding 2025‑09‑20 test recorded failures in service brake efficiency, parking brake efficiency, suspension modifications and worn components, indicating a recent corrective effort that restored compliance. Mileage has risen from 10,300 miles in April 2018 to 53,191 miles by September 2025, averaging roughly 4,800 miles per year, which is low for a 2015 model but shows notable accelerations, such as a 23,000‑mile jump between 2018 and 2019 and a 6,000‑mile increase between 2024 and 2025, suggesting periods of heavier use followed by lighter use. Recurring issues include a persistent oil leak, front brake discs that are worn, pitted or scored, tyres that have perished on both front and rear positions, worn suspension bushes, an unsafe lower‑arm bush modification on the wishbone, and insufficient service and parking brake efficiency noted in the September 2025 failure. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and the modified wishbone, verify the integrity of the brake discs and pads, assess tyre wear and perishing, locate and evaluate the source of the ongoing oil leak, test the service and parking brake efficiency, and look for any structural rust under the trays or other modifications that could compromise structural integrity.
