2017 Suzuki Swift 1.0L Petrol · YG67 AFN

The 2017 Suzuki Swift shows a consistent history of minor mechanical and consumable failures that require attention. In the most recent test on 11 December 2025 at 39,701 miles, the vehicle passed despite both nearside and offside rear tyres showing signs of perishing. This is a common symptom for low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary, as rubber degrades over time rather than through use. The failure in November 2024 at 34,060 miles reveals a period of reactive maintenance regarding the braking system, where both rear brake pipes were flagged for significant corrosion. The presence of grease on these pipes suggests an attempt to mask the corrosion from the tester, which resulted in a failure. The vehicle has covered an average of 4,411 miles per year over its nine-year life, significantly below the national average. While this suggests low wear on the drivetrain and engine, it explains the issues observed during the December 2023 test at 28,432 miles. The front tyres were found worn to the edges on both sides, indicating a likely alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The fact that the car failed on a windscreen wiper in 2024 and then passed in 2025 indicates that basic maintenance items are only addressed when they cause an MOT failure. The structural integrity of the vehicle appears stable as no corrosion-related structural failures are in the record. However, a buyer should specifically inspect the rear brake lines to ensure the corrosion noted in 2024 has been properly replaced. Given the previous uneven tyre wear, a professional wheel alignment and suspension geometry check is necessary to prevent premature replacement of new tyres. Overall, the record reflects a low-mileage car that suffers from a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance.
