2022 Suzuki Swift SZ-L Dualjet Mhev 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · KM22 YYH

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this 2022 Suzuki Swift SZ-L Dualjet MHEV was conducted on 26 June 2026 and resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded against the vehicle. The previous test, dated 25 June 2025, also returned a pass with no defects recorded. With two consecutive tests showing a fully clean sheet and no advisories, the recorded maintenance trend is stable and consistent, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory roadworthiness standard across both annual examinations. The absence of any recorded monitoring items, such as tyre wear nearing legal limits, brake component deterioration, or suspension issues, suggests that the consumable and safety-related items were in good condition at the time of inspection, which is a positive indicator for a prospective purchaser. Turning to the recorded mileage of 31,822 miles against a vehicle age of approximately four years, this equates to an annual average of around 7,900 miles, which sits squarely within the typical usage bracket for a vehicle of this age and class. There is no evidence of unusually low mileage that might suggest prolonged periods of standing, nor is there any indication of excessive accumulation that would point to accelerated wear on major mechanical components. This steady, moderate rate of driving is beneficial mechanically, as it tends to keep components such as the brake system, clutch, and drivetrain functioning within their intended working parameters while also avoiding the particular issues associated with vehicles that cover very low annual distances. Given the clean MOT history and the moderate, consistent usage pattern, the primary considerations for a prospective buyer shift toward age and time-related degradation rather than recorded component failure. The tyres warrant close physical inspection for sidewall perishing and cracking, as rubber compounds deteriorate with calendar age regardless of tread depth, and a vehicle of this vintage can exhibit brittleness even where tread remains adequate. Similarly, the 12-volt battery should be assessed for its state of health, as battery longevity is often governed more by time than mileage, and a weakening battery can produce symptoms such as slow cranking or intermittent electronic faults. Brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion, particularly around the outer edges and hub face, which is common on vehicles used predominantly for short urban journeys, and the calipers should be checked to ensure they are releasing cleanly without binding. Further practical checks should include verification of the service book stamps or digital service history to confirm that time-based maintenance items have been attended to, particularly the engine oil and filter, coolant, brake fluid, and the mild hybrid system components where applicable. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and typically requires replacement every two years regardless of mileage, so confirming the date of the last fluid change is worthwhile. The underbody and exhaust system should be inspected for any signs of corrosion, particularly at mounting points and heat shields, given the exposure to winter road conditions. On a test drive, the buyer should listen for any suspension knocking or clonking over uneven surfaces, which could indicate wear in the bushes, drop links, or coil spring seats, and should observe that the mild hybrid system engages smoothly without warning lights. Finally, confirming that all owner documentation, keys, and the security system are present and functional will round off a thorough assessment of this otherwise well-maintained example.
