2015 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · SC65 OHH

The overall roadworthiness status for this 2015 Suzuki Swift is Pass , but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding the suspension and braking components. The most recent MOT, taken on 2025-08-15, shows the vehicle passed at 79,698 miles with the Front Sub-frame corroded but not seriously weakened, and the Rear Sub-frame corroded but not seriously weakened. This test was taken approximately 11 years ago, placing the vehicle in a period of relatively stable mileage accumulation typical for its age. However, the record reveals a critical gap in the 2022-2023 period where the Front Brake disc was found worn, pitted, or scored on the inside surface, a condition that was flagged in the 2022-07-11 test. This failure occurred just 11 months prior to the most recent inspection, suggesting that the owner may have neglected routine brake inspections or simply avoided the vehicle during the 2023-2024 period, leading to accelerated wear on critical components. The mileage pattern is clearly worsening relative to age , as the vehicle has experienced a significant accumulation of 11 years of recorded mileage (79,698 miles) with only two separate MOT tests. The gap between the 2023-07-11 test and the 2022-07-11 test highlights a lack of proactive maintenance, as the Front Brake disc was identified as a failing condition during the 2022-07-11 test. This indicates that the owner may have skipped regular brake checks or simply avoided the car during that time, allowing wear to accumulate on the brake disc without replacement. Given the recurring faults in the suspension and braking systems, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for binding rear brakes, excessive movement in the rear sub-frame pins, and structural corrosion in the front sub-frame. The 2022-07-11 failure of the Front Brake disc suggests that the car may require immediate replacement or significant refurbishment to ensure safety, as the worn brake disc is a serious structural risk that could lead to failure under load.
