Our Verdict
This 2022 Suzuki Swace HEV CVT offers good value with low mileage and a mostly clean MOT history, but the near-limit tyre wear and lack of model reliability data warrant cautious inspection.
Prioritise checking the condition of the nearside and offside front tyres, as their wear levels were close to legal limits. Verify the hybrid battery and electric motor health through service records, as these are critical to the vehicle's performance. Negotiate based on the need to replace tyres and the lack of model-specific reliability benchmarks. Ensure the vehicle has a full service history to confirm regular maintenance of the hybrid system.
As a hybrid, the Swace SZ5 HEV CVT benefits from strong fuel economy, likely averaging 50-60 mpg on mixed driving. With a Euro 6 AP emissions rating, it should be exempt from London's ULEZ charges. Insurance groups for hybrids vary, but this model may fall into a mid-range group. Maintenance costs could be higher than conventional vehicles due to hybrid-specific components, though routine servicing is likely manageable. Estimated annual running costs: £800-£1,000.
Focus on the front tyres, as their edge wear indicates potential alignment or suspension issues. Inspect the hybrid battery for swelling or corrosion, and check the electric motor controller for fault codes. Examine the brake system, as regenerative braking can cause uneven pad wear. Verify fluid levels and condition, particularly the hybrid-specific coolant and transmission fluid. Review service records for any hybrid system diagnostics or repairs.
The vehicle has low mileage (21,211 miles) for its age, with only minor tyre wear recorded in its latest MOT. While no major defects were found in 2025, the absence of aggregate reliability data for this model means potential buyers should verify service history and inspect hybrid system components carefully.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Suzuki Swace SZ5 HEV CVT, making it difficult to assess long-term reliability trends for this specific variant.
