Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Suzuki Swace Sz T HEV CVT?

The 2022 Suzuki Swace SZ-T HEV CVT is a genuinely reliable first-time passer, hitting 91% against the UK average of 80%—a solid 11-point margin that puts it in the stronger half of the market. Dangerous defects are rare at 3.5%, so there's nothing here to worry a buyer on safety grounds.

At 26,000 miles median, these cars have been used sensibly for their age, and the low failure rate (0.15 per vehicle) backs that up; most issues show as minor advisories (0.9 per car) rather than genuine problems. If you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection is still worthwhile, but this cohort suggests the hybrid powertrain has bedded in without drama.

The 2022 Suzuki Swace Sz T HEV CVT passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (93% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
