2020 Suzuki Swift SZ-T Dualjet Shvs 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · ST70 AAU

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-12-23 MOT at 56,456 miles recording a pass and no defects. However, the preceding 2025-11-10 test at 56,499 miles showed a failure with no defects noted, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor unresolved issue. The 2024-08-28 tests at 36,544 miles include both a pass and a failure with identical mileage, which may indicate data duplication or a procedural inconsistency. Overall, the absence of recorded defects in passing tests implies no critical mechanical or structural risks at present. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging 9,409 miles annually. The 2023-08-29 test at 16,114 miles marked the first MOT, followed by a 20,430-mile increase to 36,544 by 2024-08-28, then a 20,412-mile jump to 56,456 by 2025-12-23. This steady accumulation suggests consistent operation without prolonged inactivity. However, the lack of intermediate MOT records between 2023 and 2024 raises questions about potential maintenance gaps, as no data exists to confirm adherence to service schedules during that period. While no structural or mechanical defects were recorded, the repeated MOT failures at similar mileages warrant scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these are common issues in high-mileage vehicles. Additionally, a thorough corrosion assessment of the chassis and body panels is advised, as hidden rust can develop without triggering MOT failures. The absence of recorded advisories does not preclude the need for a professional pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
