2022 Suzuki Swift SZ-L Dualjet Mhev 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · SN72 UGH

The Suzuki Swift’s most recent MOT test on 5 July 2025 at 13,754 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests the vehicle has maintained a stable roadworthiness status over the available history, with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or safety-critical issues. The absence of advisories also implies that the tester did not identify any components requiring attention before the next test. However, the single data point means there is no historical context for wear trends, and the vehicle’s condition beyond this snapshot remains unverified. The recorded mileage of 13,754 miles over approximately four years—roughly 3,438 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. Such low mileage could reflect limited driving, prolonged storage, or even potential odometer tampering, though the latter cannot be confirmed without further evidence. The gap between the 2025 test and today (over a year) means the vehicle has not undergone an MOT since, leaving a period where wear could have accumulated unchecked. Without prior tests for comparison, it is impossible to determine whether the low mileage has protected critical components or if deferred maintenance has allowed minor issues to develop. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items that are not covered by the MOT but critical to long-term reliability. Focus on the suspension—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and dampers—for signs of fatigue or corrosion, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles that may have been stored unsafely. The brakes, including caliper binding, disc thickness, and pad material, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Examine the exhaust system for leaks or rust penetration, and inspect the underbody for corrosion around the wheel arches and sills, which can accelerate if the car has been exposed to moisture. The MHEV hybrid system’s battery and cooling components should also be assessed, as these are not routinely tested in an MOT but can degrade even with minimal use.
