2020 Suzuki Swift SZ-T Dualjet Shvs 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · FJ70 UDL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from proactive care to reactive repairs. The most recent test on July 4 2025 at 42,358 miles resulted in a pass but revealed multiple failures regarding tyre condition. The tester flagged nails in the offside front and nearside rear tyres, alongside cracking and perishing on both rear tyres. This indicates a lapse in basic exterior safety inspections prior to the MOT appointment. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical low-to-moderate usage, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between August 2023 at 34,327 miles and July 2024 at 40,898 miles, the vehicle covered 6,571 miles. The interval between the July 2024 and 2025 tests saw a further 1,460 miles. This low annual accumulation suggests the drivetrain and suspension components have not been subjected to high-mileage stress. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the 2025 failure suggests the rubber may be suffering from age-related degradation rather than just wear. The 2023 advisory regarding thin front brake pads at 34,327 miles indicates that the braking system requires regular attention, so the buyer must verify the current pad thickness and disc condition for uneven scoring. Since no structural corrosion or suspension bushing faults have appeared in the record, the integrity of the chassis appears sound, but the focus should remain on consumables and the quality of the rubber components.
