2022 Suzuki Swift SZ5 Dualjet Mhev 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · PX22 XKW

A consistently clean MOT record over the past three years establishes a baseline of roadworthiness for this 2022 Suzuki Swift SZ5 Dualjet MHEV, with the most recent test on 23 October 2026 confirming a pass and no recorded defects. The absence of advisories or failures across successive annual inspections suggests that, at the time of testing, the primary safety‑critical systems—brakes, lights, tyres, suspension and emissions—were all within statutory limits. At 41,174 miles the vehicle averages just over 10,000 miles per annum, a figure that sits comfortably within the typical usage envelope for a compact hatchback of this age. The mileage progression shows no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps between tests, indicating regular exposure to road conditions without periods of extended inactivity that could foster corrosion or battery deterioration. Mechanically, this mileage level points to consumables such as brake pads, clutch (if a manual) and tyre tread being in the mid‑life stage, while major drivetrain components are unlikely to have reached wear thresholds that would necessitate imminent replacement. For a prospective buyer, a practical test‑drive should include a close listen for any metallic clunk or knock when traversing road imperfections, which could reveal early wear in suspension bushings or strut mounts that would not have triggered an MOT advisory yet. While braking, assess pedal feel for any judder or sponginess and note any uneven pedal travel, as these sensations can expose latent pad or disc wear not captured in the MOT. Steering response should be steady without a noticeable pull to one side, indicating that the steering rack and tie‑rod ends remain within acceptable tolerances. Finally, inspect the tyre tread depth and uniformity across all four corners; uneven wear may hint at alignment issues or worn suspension components that have not yet manifested as MOT failures. Verify that all exterior lights illuminate correctly and that the exhaust is free of excess smoke or unusual noises, confirming that emissions and exhaust systems remain compliant. A brief battery voltage check, especially given the vehicle’s hybrid‑electric architecture, will help ensure that the 12 V system is holding charge, reducing the risk of unexpected electrical faults after purchase.
