2017 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · WA17 WAE

The vehicle presents a stable but reactive maintenance pattern, primarily focused on consumable replacement rather than mechanical or structural repair. The most recent MOT on 25 March 2026 at 67,395 miles passed, though the tester flagged both nearside and offside rear tyres for being worn close to the legal limit and showing irregular shaping on the inner edges. This indicates a recurring issue with tyre wear patterns that has appeared intermittently throughout the vehicle's history. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical user profile for a 2017 vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 22,532 miles in March 2020 to the current 67,395 miles in March 2026. There are no significant gaps in usage or evidence of long periods of inactivity, which suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly enough to prevent common issues associated with stagnation, such as seized components or fuel degradation. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and wheel alignment. The repeated advisories and failures regarding tyres being worn on the edges—noted in the March 2026 test, the March 2025 failure, the April 2024 failure, and the March 2022 test—strongly suggest underlying issues with wheel alignment, worn suspension bushes, or potentially damaged control arms. While the MOT history shows no failures related to braking systems, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, the persistent tyre wear patterns warrant a physical inspection of the steering geometry and suspension components to ensure the vehicle does not require immediate realignment or part replacement.
