2022 Suzuki Swift SZ5 Dualjet Mhev CVT 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · AF72 NLD

The vehicle most recently underwent its MOT examination on 18 September 2025 and achieved a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. As this represents the initial MOT test for a 2022 model, the absence of any noted failures indicates a stable maintenance trend and suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a condition consistent with its low mileage. There are no historical patterns of neglect or recurring mechanical failures to cause concern at this stage. The recorded mileage of 15,303 miles over approximately four years indicates an average annual usage of roughly 3,826 miles, which is significantly below the United Kingdom national average. While this low mileage implies minimal wear on the engine internals, CVT transmission, and suspension components, it also suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary. Such usage patterns shift the mechanical risk from wear-and-tear degradation to time-based deterioration of rubber and fluid components. Given the clean MOT record and low usage, a physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the tyres. Even with ample tread remaining, tyres on low-mileage vehicles can suffer from perishing or sidewall cracking due to age and UV exposure. It is essential to check the date codes on the tyres to ensure they are not beyond their recommended service life. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, which can occur when a vehicle is left standing for long durations, potentially leading to uneven brake pad wear or reduced stopping efficiency. Particular attention should be paid to the 12V battery health and the vehicle service history. Mild hybrid systems rely on a stable electrical foundation, and batteries in lightly used cars can suffer from deep discharge cycles. Prospective buyers should verify that the engine oil and other essential fluids have been changed according to the manufacturer's time-based intervals rather than mileage alone, as oil degrades chemically over time. A thorough review of the service book is required to confirm that all calendar-based maintenance has been performed to ensure the long-term reliability of the Dualjet engine and CVT system.
