Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This Suzuki Swift presents a consistently strong record of roadworthiness, having passed both its recorded MOT tests without any defects or advisories. The most recent examination on 2026-09-15 resulted in a clean pass, mirroring the previous test on 2025-08-30. This indicates that at the time of inspection, the vehicle met all statutory roadworthiness requirements and exhibited no issues requiring attention or repair. With a recorded mileage of 24,331 over approximately four years, the vehicle has accumulated an average of around 6,083 miles per year. This usage pattern is typical for a vehicle of its age and suggests regular, moderate operation rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or exceptionally high mileage. Such a profile generally points to standard wear and tear on consumable items, drivetrain components, and suspension, without indicating unusual stress or neglect based solely on mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, it is always prudent for a prospective buyer to conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection. While the MOT assesses roadworthiness at a specific point in time, it does not cover all aspects of a vehicle's condition or predict future component lifespan. A professional inspection can identify early signs of wear on components such as brake discs and pads, tyres, and suspension bushes that may not yet be critical enough to warrant an MOT advisory but could soon require replacement. During a test drive, pay close attention to the vehicle's general demeanour. Listen for any unusual noises from the engine or transmission, assess the effectiveness and feel of the braking system, and check for any vagueness or pulling in the steering. Ensure all electrical systems, including lights, wipers, and dashboard warnings, function correctly. Confirming a consistent service history, separate from the MOT record, would also provide additional insight into the vehicle's overall mechanical care.

Our Verdict

Overall this 2022 Suzuki Swift SZ-L Dual

Check the service records for any work carried out on the hybrid battery and electric motor, as MOT data does not cover battery health. Request evidence of regular oil changes and any scheduled maintenance recommended by Suzuki for the Dualjet engine. When negotiating price, use the below‑average mileage and clean MOT history as leverage, but be mindful that the lack of model‑specific reliability statistics may warrant a modest discount.

Inspect the vehicle for any signs of wear on the braking system and suspension, as these are common wear items on small hatchbacks regardless of mileage. Verify that all electronic hybrid systems (e.g., regenerative braking, battery indicator) are functioning correctly during a test drive. Finally, confirm that the MOT certificates are genuine and correspond to the registration number YP72LCA.

The 1.2‑litre hybrid powertrain typically delivers better fuel economy than a comparable petrol‑only Swift, helping to keep fuel expenses modest. Hybrid models with low CO2 emissions often fall into the lower road‑tax bands, reducing annual tax costs.

Insurance premiums for a 2022 Swift are generally in the lower to mid‑range insurance groups, reflecting its small size and safety equipment. Routine maintenance on a hybrid can be slightly higher than a conventional model due to the additional electric components, but overall annual running costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage are expected to be in the region of £800‑£1,000.

During a pre‑purchase inspection, focus on the condition of the hybrid battery and its management system; look for any warning lights on the dashboard and ask for a recent battery health check if possible. The MOT history shows no failures, but the absence of recorded defects does not guarantee the battery is free from degradation.

Examine the engine bay for any oil leaks, especially around the Dualjet cylinder head, and check the condition of the spark plugs and intake system. The brake pads and discs should be inspected for wear, as the vehicle's mileage is relatively low but braking components can deteriorate independently of mileage.

Finally, verify the integrity of the vehicle's electronic systems, including the infotainment screen, climate control, and any driver‑assist features. Ensure that all lights, indicators, and the hybrid system's regenerative braking function operate correctly.

The vehicle has a clean MOT history, with passes in August 2025 (19,168 miles) and September 2026 (24,331 miles) and no recorded failures. At just over 24,000 miles, it sits below the average mileage for a four‑year‑old car, suggesting relatively light use. As a hybrid, it should benefit from lower fuel consumption compared with a conventional petrol Swift, offering an attractive running-cost profile. However, specific model reliability data is not available, so prospective owners should pay particular attention to the hybrid components.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Suzuki Swift SZ-L Dualjet MHEV, so a direct reliability assessment cannot be derived from model‑wide statistics.
