2020 Suzuki Swift SZ3 Dualjet Shvs 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · LR70 AFY

The Suzuki Swift’s most recent MOT test on 18 September 2025—just under a year ago—confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This marks the third consecutive annual pass without failings, suggesting consistent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards. The absence of advisories or recurring issues in the last three tests indicates the vehicle has likely undergone regular servicing, though the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear. The most recent test aligns with the vehicle’s typical annual MOT cycle, reinforcing that the owner has adhered to the legal requirement without delay. The recorded mileage progression reveals a steady but high annual average of approximately 17,352 miles over the past three years, which exceeds typical expectations for a vehicle of this age. Between the September 2023 and September 2024 tests, the mileage increased by 18,145 miles, and another 15,088 miles followed by September 2025. While this suggests frequent use, it also implies accelerated wear on high-stress components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. The absence of any MOT gaps or irregular mileage jumps further supports that the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than stored or neglected. Given the high mileage and lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the condition of the rear coil springs and front/rear bushes, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes, though not flagged in MOTs, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on the floorpan, wheel arches, and subframe for corrosion, as prolonged exposure to UK road conditions can accelerate rust development. The engine bay and exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive corrosion, particularly around the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, which are common failure points in this model.
