2021 Suzuki Swift SZ5 Dualjet Mhev 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · FJ71 UWR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 21 July 2025 at 147,142 miles passed with a single advisory for an offside rear tyre wearing close to the tread marker. This indicates that while the vehicle meets minimum legal standards, the owner is delaying replacement of consumables until they reach the point of failure or legal limit. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging nearly 30,000 miles annually. Between the July 2024 test at 118,455 miles and the July 2025 test, the car covered an additional 28,687 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation of mileage puts significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system, which typically reach the end of their service life much faster than a standard commuter vehicle. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front-end suspension geometry. The July 2024 test flagged a worn nearside front suspension arm pin or bush, and although this did not result in a fail at that time, the high mileage suggests other rubber components and joints are likely nearing degradation. You should specifically check for play in the steering rack and inspect the condition of the brake discs, as the high usage rate often leads to accelerated thinning and uneven wear.
