2022 Suzuki Swift SZ5 Dualjet Mhev 1.2L Hybrid electric · YN22 URV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed the test in January 2026 at 36,641 miles, the tester identified multiple advisories that were absent during the previous 2025 test. This suggests that while the vehicle remains mechanically sound, consumable components are now reaching the end of their service life and require immediate attention. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical UK usage for a hatchback, averaging approximately 9,160 miles per year. Between the January 2025 test at 24,797 miles and the January 2026 test at 36,641 miles, the car covered 11,844 miles. This slight increase in usage compared to the previous annual average explains the accelerated wear observed on the front braking system and front tyres noted in the latest MOT record. A buyer should prioritise an inspection of the front axle assembly. The 2026 record flagged both nearside and offside front brake pads as wearing thin, alongside front tyres worn on the edges. This specific edge wear often indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be checked to prevent premature replacement of new rubber. The defective nearside wiper blade is a minor fix, but the overall cluster of advisories suggests the vehicle is due for a comprehensive service to prevent further mechanical failure.
