MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

16 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Suzuki Swift (SF55 YRL) between December 2008 and June 2019.

The record contains 11 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 22 June 2019 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (37 issues), Lighting (14 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 53 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Lower Front suspension has excessive play in a lower suspension ball joint (2.5.B.1a)”; “Offside Front Macpherson strut has excessive movement in the upper support bearing assembly (2.5.B.1b)”; “Nearside Front Macpherson strut has excessive movement at the upper attachment (2.5.A.1c)”.
