2021 Suzuki Swift SZ-L Dualjet Mhev 1.2L Hybrid electric · NL71 FDE

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the history showing a pattern of clean passes and no recurring mechanical advisories. The latest test on 2026-01-06 resulted in a pass following a same-day failure caused by incorrect headlamp aim on both the nearside and offside, which was a minor adjustment issue rather than a component failure. This trend indicates a stable mechanical state across its testing history. The recorded mileage of 32,280 miles over approximately five years equates to an average annual accumulation of 6,456 miles. This represents a typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age and type. Mechanically, this level of use suggests that wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and brake consumables should be consistent with standard manufacturer expectations for a city car. Given the absence of structural corrosion, suspension defects, or brake system advisories in the DVSA records, the mechanical focus during a physical inspection should remain on verifying the current state of consumables. During a test drive, pay attention to the smoothness of the mild-hybrid system transitions and ensure there is no steering pull or abnormal knocking from the suspension over uneven surfaces, which would indicate wear not yet captured in the MOT history. Check the operation of the headlamps to ensure the previous aim adjustment remains correct and that there is no condensation within the lenses. While the MOT history is relatively clean, a physical check of the brake discs for lip wear and the tyres for uneven tread wear is advised to establish the current remaining life of these components.
