2011 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · SH61 ACO

The Suzuki Swift holds a roadworthy pass from the 8 October 2025 test at 83,608 miles, where the examiner recorded no defects. This latest result confirms a stable maintenance trend across the supplied history. The vehicle passed again on 28 October 2024 at 77,384 miles and on 26 October 2023 at 71,069 miles, each with clean sheets. Two anomalous failures share identical dates and mileages with those passes yet list no faults, pointing to clerical or procedural errors rather than mechanical decline. Odometer readings climbed from 71,069 at the October 2023 examination to 77,384 by late October 2024, then to 83,608 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 6,200 miles annually in the recorded span, marginally above the lifetime average of 5,574 miles per year for a 15-year-old hatchback. Low cumulative mileage suggests lighter use or extended storage periods. The consistent yearly test interval shows the previous keeper adhered to statutory roadworthiness checks without lapse. A buyer should still commission a hands-on inspection of age-sensitive components. The absence of advisories does not preclude degraded suspension bushes, fatigued coil springs, or creeping corrosion on structural members. Check brake discs for scoring and calipers for binding. Assess the exhaust for internal emissions leakage. The unexplained failed certificates warrant verification of lighting and electrical circuits despite zero defects logged. Previous ownership appears disciplined in presenting the car for annual MOTs, yet the twin fail-pass entries imply minor faults may have been rectified off-record within days. Given the 2011 build, scrutinise underbody structural integrity for rust and confirm consumable items such as tyre tread and wiper blades match the no-advisory status. The Swift's mechanical record supports cautious confidence pending physical survey.
