2020 Suzuki Swift 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · KV20 YPO

A pattern of minimal mechanical intervention defines this vehicle's MOT history, characterized by a relatively clean record with only sporadic advisories for consumable wear. The most recent test on 22 April 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, suggesting that the previous issues regarding tyre integrity and brake component wear have been addressed or have not progressed to a failure state. This trend shows a vehicle that has maintained its roadworthiness without any recorded major structural or mechanical failures over its testing history. The recorded mileage of 41,425 miles against a 2020 registration indicates an average annual usage of approximately 6,904 miles. This level of accumulation is consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage for a vehicle of this age. From a mechanical standpoint, this mileage profile suggests that while major drivetrain components may not have reached high-mileage wear thresholds, consumable items such as suspension bushes, brake pads, and tyres will be subject to standard age-related degradation and periodic replacement. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the braking system following the advisory for worn front brake discs noted in March 2025. During a test drive, it is essential to monitor for any signs of pedal judder or vibration when applying the brakes at varying speeds, which can indicate disc thickness issues or uneven wear. Additionally, ensure that the braking performance is consistent and that there is no pulling to one side under heavy deceleration, which could suggest uneven pad wear or a binding caliper. The 2023 advisory regarding a cut in the nearside front tyre should also be verified to ensure the current fitment is free from similar sidewall damage or structural irregularities. While the most recent pass indicates no current defects, checking the tread depth and the overall condition of the sidewalls is prudent. Listen for any rhythmic thumping or uneven road noise during the drive, which might indicate tyre deformation or an imbalance, and inspect the wheel arches for any signs of debris that could cause repetitive impact damage to the tyre casing.
