2021 Suzuki Swace SZ5 HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric · SV71 YMM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred attention toward consumable components. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 19,939 miles resulted in a pass, it introduced multiple advisories regarding front brake discs and tyre sidewalls. This represents a shift from the previous year where only a tyre was flagged, suggesting that issues are only addressed once they reach a failure threshold rather than through preventative maintenance. At 19,939 miles over five years, the Suzuki has clocked significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. This low usage pattern is evident in the 12-month gap between December 2024 and December 2025, where the car covered only 7,781 miles. However, low mileage often leads to secondary issues such as brake surface corrosion and degradation of rubber-based components, which aligns with the perishing sidewalls noted in the latest record. A buyer must personally inspect the front braking system and tyres. The December 2025 test flagged pitting and scoring on both front brake discs, which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary for long periods without frequent braking. The recurring advisories for damaged or cracking sidewalls across 2024 and 2025 indicate the rubber may be reaching its age limit or suffered impact, necessitating a thorough check of the tyre manufacture dates and structural integrity. The buyer should also verify that the offside windscreen wiper mentioned in the December 2024 failure was replaced with a high-quality unit to ensure adequate visibility.
