2015 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · Y7 MXA

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards deferred upkeep of wear components. The most recent test in October 2025 at 97,684 miles introduced multiple advisories that were not present in previous years. While the car passed the test, the appearance of suspension-related issues and universal tyre wear indicates that the vehicle is now entering a phase where rubber components and bushings require proactive attention to prevent mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,880 miles per year. Between October 2024 at 82,207 miles and October 2025 at 97,684 miles, the car covered 15,477 miles, representing a significant spike in annual usage compared to the historical average. This increased load suggests the vehicle has been used more heavily over the last year, which explains the accelerated degradation of the suspension system and tyres noted in the latest MOT record. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The 2025 record flagged worn suspension arm bushes on both sides and a severely deteriorated offside anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover. These faults often lead to imprecise handling and uneven tyre wear if left addressed. Furthermore, because all four tyres were noted as being near the legal limit and worn on the edges in 2025, the buyer should verify the remaining tread depth and determine if a full set of new tyres is immediately required given the high mileage added since that last test.
