2020 Suzuki Swift SZ-T Dualjet Shvs 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · JL02 CUT

This 2020 Suzuki Swift has a very low mileage profile, averaging just over 3,000 miles per year. While low mileage generally suggests less mechanical wear, the MOT history indicates a specific risk pattern related to the vehicle's periods of inactivity. The most recent MOT from June 2025 was a pass, but it highlights a recurring issue with the rear tyres being slightly damaged, cracking, or perishing. This issue was also noted in the 2024 inspection. This pattern, combined with the very low annual mileage, strongly suggests the car may have spent long periods standing still, which causes rubber components like tyres to perish and age prematurely regardless of how much tread is left. The mechanical trend appears stable but shows signs of age-related deterioration in consumables. In 2023, the front brake pads were noted as wearing thin, and by 2024, there were reports of front brake fluctuation. While the vehicle passed its most recent test, the repeated mention of tyre perishing and previous brake concerns means you should not assume the car is in "as new" condition simply due to the low odometer reading. The low mileage is an ambiguous signal; it could mean the car was lightly used for short trips, which can actually be harder on a vehicle than regular motorway driving due to less engine warm-up and potential moisture buildup. Before purchasing, you must inspect the condition of all four tyres for sidewall cracking and check the age of the rubber.
