2013 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · WV63 FHD

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the September 2025 MOT at 71,082 miles, passing with only minor advisories. The tester noted a slightly discoloured off‑side rear direction indicator, a front brake disc showing wear and pitting but no structural weakening, light oil misting on the off‑side rear shock absorber, and a parking‑brake lever with extended travel. No safety‑critical failures were recorded, and the pattern of defects has not escalated, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Mileage has accumulated to 71,082 miles over thirteen years, averaging roughly 5,500 miles per annum – markedly below the typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent, modest mileage increases between annual tests, with no sudden spikes that would suggest periods of intensive use. The low‑mileage profile aligns with the sparse defect history, reinforcing the impression of gentle, regular operation. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front brake disc for any excessive scoring or thinning that may have progressed since the last test, and verify the condition of the rear shock absorbers for oil leakage or loss of damping. The parking‑brake lever’s long travel warrants a functional check to ensure reliable holding power. Inspect the off‑side rear direction indicator housing for corrosion that could worsen the discoloration, and examine the rear bumper for the damage noted in September 2024 to confirm it has been properly repaired. While tyre wear was flagged only in 2017, confirming current tread depth and uniformity remains prudent. Overall, the car presents as mechanically sound with only minor wear items that are typical for its age and mileage. A focused visual and functional inspection of the brake system, rear suspension, parking brake, and rear bodywork will verify that the recorded advisories have not developed into more serious issues.
