2007 Suzuki Swift 1.5L Petrol · WP07 YXY

The 2022-08-09 test passed, yet the vehicle still carries a suite of advisories that reveal a worsening pattern of brake and suspension wear. Binding rear brakes were flagged in earlier inspections, and brake pipe corrosion appears in every record from 2014 onward, indicating progressive rust. The most recent pass still notes worn rear brake discs, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened, a corroded near‑side rear fuel pipe, and corroded suspension mounting points on both sides. These recurring items suggest the underlying issues are not stabilising. At 123,293 miles after 19 years the average annual run sits near 6,500 miles, a figure that aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The recorded mileage rose steadily from 25,758 in 2010 to 123,293 in 2022, with no long gaps that would suggest prolonged standing. Each year’s test shows a modest increase, reflecting consistent use rather than irregular mileage spikes. A buyer should inspect the rear brake pipes and suspension mounting points for active corrosion, examine the coil springs for pitting or fatigue, and check the brake discs for scoring, lip formation, or excessive wear. Wheel distortion on both front and rear hubs, tyre tread depth near the legal limit, and any surface rust on the fuel pipe or exhaust should also be verified. These items represent the core mechanical concerns that have persisted throughout the vehicle’s service history.
