2016 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · PF16 CVL

The vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 7 November 2025 at 11,080 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend of perfect passes extends across the last five years, indicating the car has been maintained to a standard that avoids the triggering of mechanical or structural failures during the testing process. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,100 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 9,766 miles and November 2025 at 11,080 miles, the car covered only 1,314 miles. This slow accumulation suggests minimal road use or long periods of storage. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown due to lack of regular thermal cycling. Despite the clean digital record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on components prone to age in low-mileage cars. Check for flat-spotted tyres and seized brake calipers, which often occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. The suspension, specifically rubber bushes and coil springs, should be inspected for cracking or perishation despite the low mileage. Additionally, verify the undercarriage for surface corrosion, as the lack of road use does not protect metal from environmental moisture over a decade.
