2020 Suzuki Swift SZ-T Dualjet Shvs 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · SA70 OSB

A pattern of relatively clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, though it has experienced specific wear-related advisories in the past. The most recent MOT on 22 June 2026 resulted in a pass, though it noted a nearside rear child seat was preventing a full inspection of the adult seat belt. Looking back at the testing trend, the vehicle showed signs of consumable wear in October 2023, specifically regarding front brake pads and a nearside front tyre, but these issues do not appear to have recurred in the subsequent tests in 2024 and 2025. The recorded mileage of 29,390 miles against a 2020 registration indicates a low annual usage rate of approximately 4,898 miles per year. This level of mileage is significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, while this suggests less cumulative wear on high-friction components like the engine, gearbox, and suspension bushings, such low-frequency usage can sometimes lead to components being used less often than intended. The consistent annual testing intervals suggest the vehicle has been in regular, albeit light, circulation rather than being stored for extended periods. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition, given the advisories issued in late 2023. Although the 2024 and 2025 tests showed no defects, the previous mention of thinning brake pads means the pads and discs should be physically inspected for uneven wear or scoring. During a test drive, listen for any squealing during light braking or feel for any pulsation or judder through the brake pedal, which could indicate warped discs or sticking calipers. Regarding the tyre advisory from 2023, ensure that the current tread depth across all four tyres meets legal requirements and check that there is no uneven wear on the edges of the tyres. Uneven wear on the edges can indicate alignment issues or worn suspension components such as tie rod ends or control arm bushes. On the test drive, pay attention to the steering response; any pulling to one side or a wandering sensation through the steering wheel could suggest that the alignment or suspension geometry requires adjustment.
