2022 Suzuki Swace SZ5 HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · WA72 UDZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards reactive repairs. While the car passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 64,653 miles, the tester identified multiple mechanical concerns that were not present in previous years. The transition from a clean record in late 2024 to a list of brake and suspension defects indicates that the vehicle is now entering a stage where consumable components require urgent attention. The mileage profile is high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging over 16,000 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between the November 2024 test at 13,267 miles and the April 2025 test at 28,320 miles, representing a high-intensity period of driving in just five months. This rapid accumulation explains the frequent appearance of wear-related faults, as the vehicle is clearly subjected to heavy motorway or commercial use during these intervals. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the braking system and front geometry. The March 2026 record flagged thin front and rear brake pads along with worn front discs, suggesting a full brake overhaul is likely due. Furthermore, the offside front upper Macpherson strut pin or bush shows signs of wear, which could lead to steering instability or knocks if not addressed. The recurring history of unevenly worn tyres on the front also suggests a potential alignment issue that needs to be verified to prevent premature failure of new rubber.
