2010 Suzuki Swift 1.3L Petrol · SF10 VFZ

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness status, with the most recent MOT on 9 April 2024 at 86,877 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This outcome indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the previous test on 21 March 2023 at 85,075 miles also yielded a clear pass. The absence of advisories across these two consecutive years suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained or subjected to light usage during this period. The total recorded mileage of 86,877 over sixteen years averages approximately 5,430 miles per annum, which is notably lower than the national average for a vehicle of this age. The history shows a consistent and modest accumulation of roughly 1,800 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This pattern of low-intensity use often benefits mechanical components like the drivetrain, though it can sometimes lead to issues with seized components or perished rubber seals if the car sat idle for extended durations. Given the current age of the vehicle, a physical inspection should focus on components that typically degrade with time rather than just mileage. You must check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake hoses for signs of perishing or corrosion, as these rubber and metal parts can deteriorate regardless of low usage. Inspect the underside for any signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and subframe mounts, as these areas are common failure points for older Suzuki models. Verify that the brakes operate smoothly without binding, as low-mileage cars often suffer from seized calipers due to infrequent use.
