Our Verdict
This 2020 Suzuki Across E-Four plug-in h
Given the clean MOT record across all three tests, this particular example does not show any of the top model-level failure items (brake pads, windscreen wipers, or tyres) as recorded defects. However, these remain the most common reasons the Across fails its MOT across all 1,169 examples tracked, so a pre-purchase inspection should still pay close attention to brake pad thickness, wiper blade condition, and tyre tread depth — even if no defects have yet been logged. With the vehicle now nearly six years old, request evidence of routine servicing such as oil changes, hybrid system health checks, and any work carried out under warranty. The plug-in hybrid battery and its associated cooling system are worth discussing with a Suzuki dealer or specialist, as degradation can occur silently and is not visible from an MOT alone.
When negotiating, point to the below-average annual mileage as a positive — the car has covered around 8,300 miles per year versus the model's 10,083 average. Check that the 12V auxiliary battery has been replaced recently, as these commonly fail around the five-to-six-year mark on hybrid vehicles and can cause non-start issues that would not appear on an MOT. Also confirm that any recall work (particularly around the hybrid system or rear lighting) has been completed by Suzuki, using the registration KS70MVN with the DVLA or a Suzuki dealer. A professional pre-purchase inspection at a hybrid-aware garage is strongly recommended given the complexity of the E-Four plug-in system.
The Suzuki Across E-Four is a plug-in hybrid SUV, and its running costs depend heavily on how often it is charged. With regular charging, official fuel economy figures for the Across can exceed 200 mpg (WLTP combined), though real-world figures typically settle between 40 and 80 mpg when the battery is flat. Road tax is modest thanks to the Euro 6 AP rating, though plug-in hybrids no longer qualify for the full discount they once enjoyed — expect a standard rate. Insurance sits in a relatively high group for the Across due to its value and parts pricing, so obtaining quotes before purchase is wise.
Servicing intervals are every 12 months or 12,500 miles, with hybrid-specific checks adding a modest premium over a conventional petrol SUV. Brake wear tends to be lower on hybrids due to regenerative braking, which is a long-term cost benefit. Estimated annual running costs, factoring in fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are likely to fall in the region of £1,000 to £1,400 for a typical owner covering around 8,000 miles per year.
The MOT history shows no recorded defects across three tests, but the model's aggregate data identifies brake pads, windscreen wipers, and tyres as the top three failure reasons across 1,169 examples. Even though this car has not yet recorded issues in these areas, an inspection should measure remaining brake pad thickness, wiper blade rubber condition, and tyre tread depth against the legal minimum of 1.6mm. Tyres on a 2.2-tonne plug-in hybrid SUV can wear quickly if wheel alignment is out, so check for uneven wear patterns.
Beyond the common MOT items, inspect the charging cable and port for damage, as plug-in hybrid owners frequently handle these. Listen for any unusual noises from the E-Four four-wheel-drive system on a test drive, particularly clonks or binding on full lock. The 12V battery, hybrid coolant levels, and the operation of the brake hold and EV mode switches should all be verified. Finally, confirm that the dashboard shows no warning lights after a cold start and that the transition between electric and petrol power is smooth.
Registered in November 2020, this Suzuki Across E-Four has recorded three MOT tests between 2023 and 2025, all of which resulted in passes with no advisories or defects noted. Mileage has progressed from 15,977 in October 2023 to 32,574 by December 2025, an average of around 8,300 miles per year — below the model's average annual figure of 10,083 miles. The 2,487cc hybrid powertrain meets Euro 6 AP emissions standards, which keeps it in favourable territory for clean-air zone charges. Combined, the data suggests a lightly used example that has not yet accumulated significant wear from high-mileage driving.
The Suzuki Across E-Four shows a 94.7% MOT pass rate across 1,169 examples, which is broadly comparable to other family SUVs of its era. Failures tend to centre on consumables such as brake pads, wipers, and tyres rather than structural or mechanical faults.
