2012 Suzuki Swift 1.6L Petrol · SH61 AAU

This Suzuki Swift presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile with a clean bill of health. The most recent MOT on 8 April 2025 at 49,254 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy state without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is remarkably low for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,518 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady, with an increase of 3,406 miles between April 2023 and April 2024, and a further 3,406 miles leading into the April 2025 test. This consistent, low-volume usage suggests the car has not suffered from erratic ownership or prolonged periods of stagnation that often lead to seized calipers or perished seals. The record shows a failure on 12 April 2022 at 39,081 miles, though the vehicle passed on the same day with no defects listed. This likely indicates a minor administrative error or a quick rectification of a trivial item. There are no mentions of corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake deterioration across the entire history, which is unusual for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often develop flat spots on tyres or suffer from battery degradation. Check the condition of the rubber seals and inspect the underbody for surface rust, as the MOT record provides no evidence of structural issues but cannot replace a visual check of the chassis and suspension mounting points.
