2007 Suzuki Swift 1.5L Petrol · SL07 CLJ

The Suzuki Swift passed its most recent MOT on 3 June 2025 at 103,227 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend appears stable with no recurring advisories or failures logged across the visible history. The vehicle currently holds a valid test and presents as roadworthy on paper. Prior to that pass, the car failed twice in quick succession in 2025 and 2024 with no defects recorded, which points to administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 103,227 against a 2007 build, averaging roughly 5,433 miles per year. The car covered only 4,649 miles between the September 2023 failure at 96,490 miles and the April 2024 pass at 98,578 miles, then added about 4,600 miles to the June 2025 pass. Low annual use for a 19-year-old hatchback suggests extended standing periods, which commonly accelerates rubber perishing, brake caliper seizure, and underbody corrosion even when odometer wear stays light. The repeated fails on 22 May 2025 at 103,199 miles and 22 March 2024 at 98,282 miles with no defects noted warrant a check of the test refusal reasons, as DVSA sometimes logs fails for missing plates, lamps, or documentation rather than mechanical condition. A buyer should confirm the VOSA failure codes before purchase. In person, inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation from low-use storage, and examine sills, subframes, and exhaust for structural rust. The clean advisory list gives no warning of tyre or wiper wear, so verify those consumables physically given the car's sparse annual mileage.
