2016 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · SC65 OHD

The vehicle currently fails the roadworthiness test, as evidenced by the two distinct MOT results recorded on 2025-10-20 and 2024-10-24. The most recent failure, occurring in October 2025, indicates a persistent structural hazard that has not yet been resolved, suggesting the condition is not improving. This is contrasted with the 2024 test, which passed with no recorded defects, highlighting a significant gap in maintenance history between the 2024 and 2025 inspections. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 6,638 miles annually, which is consistent with its 10-year age. However, the data reveals a notable irregularity: the 2025 and 2024 tests were recorded with identical mileage (66,384 and 61,785 miles respectively), suggesting that the vehicle was not driven for a substantial period between these two assessments. This pattern implies that the owner may have been absent or the vehicle was not serviced during the gap, leading to the accumulation of wear and corrosion without any corrective maintenance. In conclusion, the vehicle requires immediate and thorough inspection for structural integrity and mechanical risk. The recurring faults, particularly the corroded subframe, rear axle, and suspension arms, combined with the failure of the windscreen wiper and the lack of a recent MOT, indicate that the vehicle is currently in a dangerous state. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify and address the corrosion and damage, as these components are prone to failure under the specific conditions of the 2025-2024 testing dates.
