2021 Suzuki Swace SZ-T HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric · YC71 JUT

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a clear trend of neglect following a period of good condition. While the car passed in May 2026 at 50,930 miles, the tester identified multiple mechanical advisories that were not present in the previous year. This shift from a clean record in 2025 to a list of wear-and-tear issues now suggests that preventative maintenance has been deferred rather than managed. With a total of 50,930 miles over five years, the vehicle averages approximately 10,200 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns. However, there is a significant gap in data between the November 2024 test at 13,311 miles and the May 2026 test at 50,930 miles. The car covered 37,000 miles in eighteen months. This rapid accumulation of mileage explains the sudden degradation of consumables and suspension components noted in the most recent inspection. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2026 test flagged damage to both nearside and offside front Macpherson strut mountings, which can lead to handling instability and premature tyre wear if not addressed. All four brake discs now show signs of pitting or scoring, and the front tyres are at the legal limit with uneven edge wear. The edge wear specifically indicates an alignment issue or worn bushings that requires immediate professional attention to prevent further damage to the drivetrain.
