2021 Suzuki Swift SZ5 Dualjet Mhev Allgrip 1.2L Hybrid electric · DX21 OUF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in March 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in attention compared to the previous years of clean records. The latest test at 44,105 miles flagged front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and unevenly on the edges. This indicates a potential alignment issue or suspension component wear that was not addressed prior to the MOT appointment. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per annum. Between the March 2024 test at 23,197 miles and the March 2025 test at 33,521 miles, the car covered 10,324 miles, followed by another 10,584 miles leading up to the March 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally reduces the risk of fluid degradation or component failure associated with inactivity. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension geometry to determine the cause of the uneven tyre wear noted in the latest record. Focus on the control arm bushes, ball joints, and shock absorbers which could be causing the tracking issue. While the previous two years of testing showed no mechanical defects, the recent advisory on tyre condition necessitates a professional check of the wheel alignment to prevent rapid premature wear of new tyres.
