2012 Suzuki Swift 1.6L Petrol · SH61 ABO

The Suzuki Swift shows a stable roadworthiness trend with the most recent DVSA test on 6 January 2025 at 132,642 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Relative to today's date of 20 July 2026 that examination is eighteen months old yet remains the latest evidence of sound condition. Across the five tests from 11 January 2022 through to January 2025 the vehicle cleared each check without advisories, confirming consistent upkeep. The failure on 5 January 2023 at identical mileage of 119,593 miles listed no defects, and the pass four days later indicates a non-mechanical or administrative reject. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 2012 registered hatchback now fourteen years old. The odometer advanced from 109,460 miles at the January 2022 test to 119,593 by January 2023, then to 130,584 by January 2024, reflecting roughly ten thousand miles per annum. A sharp reduction occurred in the final recorded year with only 2,058 miles added by 6 January 2025, pointing to lighter running or extended standing in that period. The history is sparse but clean, offering no evidence of rapid accumulation that would accelerate drivetrain fatigue. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and consumable mechanical parts despite the unblemished record. At 132,642 miles the original suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs may exhibit latent wear not captured by annual tests. The tester never flagged corrosion or binding calipers, yet underside rust and exhaust emissions should be verified on a ramp. Previous owners appear to have upheld basic upkeep given the absence of repeat failures, but high mileage Suzuki components warrant direct scrutiny of steering joints and subframe condition.
