2022 Suzuki Across E-Four 2.5L Hybrid electric · KR72 FCG

The Suzuki Across E-Four presents a clean bill of health on its most recent MOT, passed on 7 November 2025 at 19,094 miles with zero defects recorded. That is a strong result. With only a single test on file, there is no recurring fault trend to analyse, no pattern of wear items returning, and no evidence of unresolved advisories carrying over between tests. The maintenance picture is stable, albeit thin. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2022-registered vehicle. At roughly 4,774 miles per year, this is well below the UK average of around 7,000 to 8,000 miles annually. The single recorded test at 19,094 miles aligns with that low-use pattern. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the data, but the record is sparse. Only one MOT entry limits what can be inferred about long-term care. A buyer should treat this as a snapshot rather than a proven history. Despite the clean test, a pre-purchase inspection remains worthwhile. The Across shares its platform with the Toyota RAV4 Plug-in, and its hybrid drivetrain, regenerative braking system, and rear electric motor assembly deserve a thorough check. Low-mileage hybrids can suffer from battery conditioning issues if left standing for extended periods. Suspension components, including front lower arm bushes and rear trailing arm mounts, should be inspected for perishing, as infrequent use does not always prevent rubber deterioration. Tyre date codes and sidewall condition matter here, since low annual mileage often means original factory tyres remain in service well past their recommended age. Brake discs and pads on plug-in hybrids often show surface corrosion due to reduced friction use from regenerative braking. The tester found no fault at the November 2025 test, but a buyer should still check for uneven disc wear, binding rear calipers, and handbrake effectiveness on the gradient test. Underbody condition around the exhaust system, suspension subframe, and jacking points should be examined for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been stored outdoors. The clean MOT is encouraging, yet the thin service record and low-use profile make an independent inspection the sensible next step before committing.
