2020 Suzuki Swift SZ-T Dualjet Shvs 1.2L Hybrid electric · WA20 SXR

The vehicle is in sound roadworthiness condition, with the most recent MOT passed on 20 February 2024 at 11,511 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass from March 2023 at 10,048 miles, indicating a stable and well-maintained mechanical state over the last two years with no recurring issues flagged by the tester. The recorded mileage of 11,511 miles over six years equates to an average of just under 1,920 miles annually, which is significantly below typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests was just over eleven months, with only 1,463 miles accrued in that period, suggesting minimal daily use. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or irregular testing intervals, and the consistent low mileage implies the car has likely spent extended periods stationary, which can affect seals, fluids, and battery health even if mechanical wear is low. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should inspect the condition of the brake calipers and suspension bushes, as prolonged inactivity can lead to corrosion or stiffness in these components. The brake fluid should be checked for moisture contamination, and the battery tested for capacity, as both are common points of failure in low-mileage vehicles that have sat for long periods. Tyre condition must be verified for dry rot or cracking, even if tread depth appears adequate, and the exhaust system should be examined for internal corrosion, particularly around the silencer and hangers, which can deteriorate without regular heat cycles. The SHVS hybrid system’s belt and inverter cooling should also be confirmed as operational, as infrequent use can mask early signs of electrical or thermal stress.
