UK

There is no MOT test data available for this 1987 Suzuki Swift in the DVLA light-vehicle database — this cohort has either never been registered for testing or exists in such small numbers that no statistics can be reliably drawn. The Swift was a nimble, practical city car of the late 1980s, popular as an affordable runabout for urban driving, and most survivors today are either cherished classics or have long since left the road. Without MOT records to assess, a prospective buyer cannot rely on pass rates or defect trends to gauge mechanical condition — instead, you'll need to place heavy weight on a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a specialist, full service history, and the specific maintenance records of the individual vehicle you're considering. Expect rust to be a significant concern on any 37-year-old example, particularly around sills and door edges, and factor in the likely cost of recommissioning an older vehicle that may have been parked for extended periods.

MOT statistics not available

We have 300 1987 Suzuki Swift Glx Executive Aut vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
