I think there is a slight difference between "usually" and "tends to", the latter is "tenderar att" in Swedish.

(SV) Brukar = Soler (ES)?

It's actually "suele". " Suela" actually means "sole". But yes, I think it fits perfectly here. It's also a verb.

brukar is a verb in the present tense, so the second verb can't also be in the present tense.

Yes, archaic English used to have a present tense of the verb used to. Basically, the verb "att bruka" means "to be in the habit of / to be accustomed to".
I am in the habit of running each day = I usually run every day
I was in the habit of running every day = I used to run every day

It covers both, just as a laptop is also a computer in English, but you can say just en laptop or en bärbar (dator) too. We often skip the noun in the latter and say just den bärbara to mean 'the laptop'.
