2012 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Petrol · YH62 ACF

The 2012 Suzuki Swift demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-13 confirming no defects at 150,873 miles. Previous tests from 2024-10-20, 2023-11-01, and 2022-10-27 also showed no issues, despite a failed test on 2023-10-31 at 125,243 miles. While the failure record lacks defect details, the subsequent passes suggest any issues were resolved. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows consistent compliance, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged. The car’s mileage of 150,873 miles over 14 years aligns with an average of 10,777 miles annually, typical for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT record include a 12-day interval between the 2023-10-31 failure and the 2024-10-20 pass, during which the odometer increased by 5,005 miles. The 2024-10-20 to 2025-10-13 period saw a sharp rise of 20,625 miles, indicating heavier usage. While this may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, the absence of defects in subsequent tests suggests routine maintenance was prioritized. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of wear on high-mileage components, including suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, which may degrade under prolonged use. The failed 2023 MOT, though unexplained, warrants scrutiny of the exhaust system and emissions controls, as these are common failure points. No structural corrosion or binding calipers were noted in the record, but a physical inspection is recommended to confirm the condition of the drivetrain and body integrity, particularly given the recent mileage surge.
