2014 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · SM14 ABZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on April 2, 2026, at96,975 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed inspections without any recorded defects or advisories over the last several years. The failures recorded on the same days in 2025 and 2026 suggest minor issues that were rectified immediately prior to the retest, rather than a chronic mechanical or structural failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between the June 2022 test at 59,960 miles and the April 2025 test at 63,416 miles, representing only about 3,500 miles driven over three years. However, the usage increased significantly recently, with 33,559 miles covered in the single year between April 2025 and April 2026. This sudden surge in mileage often places accelerated wear on consumable items, suspension bushings, and brake components. Given the clean history regarding recorded advisories, a buyer should focus on the physical condition of components that suffer under high-mileage cycles. Inspect the shock absorbers and suspension for signs of play, and check the brake discs for uneven wear or thinness. Since the record does not flag previous structural corrosion, a thorough visual inspection of the chassis and sills remains necessary to ensure no hidden rust has developed during the recent period of lower mileage.
