2017 Suzuki Swift 1.0L Petrol · SJ17 TMH

The Suzuki Swift presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 19 August 2025 at 53,040 miles where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. Prior to that pass, the same-day test on 19 August 2025 at 53,038 miles returned a failure with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The preceding annual tests in August 2024 at 47,715 miles and August 2023 at 42,007 miles also passed cleanly, and the 15 August 2023 failure at 42,002 miles likewise carried no recorded defects. The pattern shows no worsening condition and no recurring advisories across the available history. Annual mileage averages around 5,893 miles against the vehicle's nine-year age, a low figure that suggests light use or extended standing periods. The records show steady, modest accumulation: 42,002 miles in August 2023, 47,715 by August 2024, and 53,038 by August 2025, giving roughly 5,000 to 5,700 miles per year with no sudden jumps. The DVSA data is sparse on fault detail, with every entry recording no defects, so the clean slate offers little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low mileage and likely periods of inactivity that accelerate corrosion and seizing. The tester logged no structural integrity concerns or exhaust emissions failures, yet standing vehicles commonly develop binding calipers and perished rubber components unseen in a pass-only record. Verify the 19 August 2025 failure reason through the full DVSA certificate, as the no-defect flag points to a non-mechanical cause worth confirming before purchase.
