Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Suzuki Swace Ultra Owners
These checks follow this Suzuki Swace Ultra's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Suzuki Swace Ultra.
-
the number plates — “registration plates does not conform to the specified requirements”
Check both plates are present, legible and correctly spaced, with the postcode of the supplier and the BS AU 145e mark. A private plate in the wrong style is a fail before the car is even looked at.
-
tyre pressures and valves — “tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctioning or obviously inoperative”
Set the pressures to the figures on the door pillar, not the tyre wall, and check the valves do not hiss. A leaking valve is a two-minute fix that fails a test.
Derived from the DVSA failure strings testers recorded for the Suzuki Swace Ultra. A check that finds nothing means the item is likely fine, not that the test is guaranteed.
