2022 Suzuki Swift Sz T Dualjet MHEV

CarHunch analysed 163 real MOT records for the 2022 Suzuki Swift Sz T Dualjet MHEV. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2022 Suzuki Swift is significantly more reliable than the UK average, with a 94.9% first-time pass rate versus 80% nationally—a genuinely impressive result. Dangerous defects are virtually absent at just 1.2%, so safety concerns aren't a factor here.

These Swifts are running low mileage for their age (averaging just under 21,000 miles), which partly explains the excellent pass performance, but the real story is build quality: they're averaging only 0.07 failures per vehicle, meaning most aren't breaking down at all. If you're considering this model, prioritise a pre-purchase inspection over general age concerns—these cars are holding up well, and a full history check will be more revealing than MOT statistics alone.

What to check before buying a 2022 Suzuki Swift Sz T Dualjet MHEV

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
