2024 Suzuki Swift Hybrid (Australia) – Can’t find build or compliance plate anywhere. Can another owner check theirs?
Hi everyone,
I’m a professional vehicle inspector in Australia and have inspected well over 10,000 vehicles. I’ve come across something I’ve never seen before.
I’m inspecting a 2024 Suzuki Swift Hybrid (Australian delivered) that appears completely original:
No evidence of accident damage.
Factory paint throughout.
Original panels and fasteners.
VIN matches the registration and windscreen.
However, I cannot find the build plate or ADR compliance plate/label anywhere.
I’ve checked all the usual locations:
Driver’s door jamb/B-pillar.
Passenger door jamb.
Under the bonnet.
Firewall.
Strut towers.
Radiator support.
Tailgate/hatch area.
Other obvious locations.
I contacted Suzuki Australia and they advised the vehicle should have one. They suggested it’s possible it was removed during repairs and not replaced, although I can’t find any signs the vehicle has been repaired.
Could anyone with a 2024 Australian Suzuki Swift Hybrid please tell me:
Exactly where your build/compliance plate or ADR label is located?
If possible, could you upload a photo of its location (you can cover the VIN)?
I’d really appreciate any help as I’m purchasing this vehicle on behalf of a client and want to be absolutely certain everything is legitimate.
