Our Verdict
This is a sensible used buy with a largely clean MOT record and consistent annual mileage. The only caution is uneven front tyre wear noted in past tests, which suggests checking steering and suspension alignment before purchase.
Before buying, ask for the full service history and confirm the timing chain and coolant have been attended to at the recommended intervals, as no maintenance records are included in the vehicle data. The 2021 and 2023 MOTs flagged inner-edge wear on both front tyres, so negotiate on the basis that new front tyres or a geometry check may be needed if not recently done. As a Euro 6 petrol with a small 998cc engine, this Swift is generally inexpensive to run, but verify the seller has addressed the earlier tyre wear rather than simply replacing tyres each year.
The 998cc petrol engine in this Swift typically delivers strong fuel economy, and as a Euro 6 W vehicle it falls into a low VED band for an 2018 petrol car. Insurance groups for the 1.0-litre Swift are usually modest, keeping annual premiums reasonable for most drivers. Based on the mileage and small-capacity engine, we estimate typical annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance at roughly £900-£1,100.
The MOT history shows repeated inner-edge wear on the Nearside and Offside Front tyres in 2021 (29,064 miles) and 2023 (64,773 miles), so inspect the front suspension bushes, track rod ends and wheel alignment for wear or damage that could cause uneven tyre contact. At the 2023 test the Nearside Rear child seat prevented full inspection of the adult belt, so confirm the rear seatbelts operate and latch correctly with no fraying. With 94,309 miles recorded, check for general wear on clutch, brakes and cabin controls, and ensure the most recent August 2025 test genuinely recorded no defects as stated.
The 2018 Suzuki Swift (registration GX68ARO) is a black 1.0-litre petrol hatchback first registered in September 2018 and has covered 94,309 miles as of its most recent MOT in August 2025. Its MOT history shows four passes with no failures and only minor tyre wear advisories on the front axle in 2021 and 2023. No aggregate model reliability data is available, but this individual example has a reassuring test record for an eight-year-old car.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Suzuki Swift, so this assessment relies solely on the individual history of GX68ARO.
