2016 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · SF65 AZK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness status of Pass , as the most recent MOT test on 2025-08-19 was passed at 65,448 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates that the current test date is well after the vehicle's last successful MOT, suggesting the car has been maintained for approximately two years. The maintenance trend appears stable , with a clear separation between the two most recent tests where the vehicle passed at 65,448 miles and passed at 61,779 miles. The gap between these two dates is 3,669 miles, which is consistent with the 10-year age of the vehicle and does not suggest a rapid accumulation of wear or a sudden failure of systems. Regarding the mileage pattern, the data shows a relatively clean trajectory with no significant gaps in annual mileage. The vehicle has accumulated approximately 6,545 miles in a single year, which is typical for a used 2016 model. While the mileage is within normal limits for age, the absence of any missing test dates or sudden jumps in the sequence suggests that the owner has maintained the car regularly. There are no signs of rapid mileage accumulation that would imply a sudden loss of mechanical reliability or a catastrophic event in the last few months. Consequently, the buyer should inspect the vehicle for the recurring faults and structural risks identified in the MOT history. The most significant issues are the insufficient reserve travel on the parking brake lever and the specific damage to the front tyre. The lack of reserve travel on the parking brake indicates that the brake system has been neglected, which can lead to premature failure. The front tyre has a cut but not deep enough to reach the ply or cords, which is a minor cosmetic defect rather than a structural failure. However, the presence of these specific faults—particularly the brake issues and the tyre cut—means that a standard inspection may not reveal the full extent of the mechanical risks. The buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushings for binding or rust, as these components are the most critical for safety, and the tyre wear pattern should be checked for tread depth and condition.
