Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend across its inspection history. The most recent test conducted on 25 September 2025 at 20,678 miles yielded a pass with only a defective offside front wiper blade. This represents a minor consumable failure rather than a significant mechanical concern, suggesting the vehicle has generally been well-kept regarding its primary safety systems. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,446 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 15,030 miles and June 2024 at 17,511 miles, the car covered just 2,481 miles. This consistent low usage suggests the car likely undergoes short trips or sits stationary for extended periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components due to age and lack of mechanical movement. A buyer should inspect the condition of the tyres specifically, as the June 2024 test at 17,511 miles flagged surface cracks on the edges. These cracks indicate that the rubber is drying out despite the low mileage, which may necessitate early replacement even if tread depth remains sufficient. It is also worth checking the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust that does not clear during driving. The absence of structural advisories regarding rust in the record indicates the chassis remains in good condition at this stage.

Our Verdict

The 2020 Suzuki Swift AE69LNH offers good value for money but requires careful inspection of tyres and wiper systems. Its low mileage and clean 2023 MOT history are positives, though recent MOT failures suggest potential maintenance risks.

Prioritise checking the tyres for further cracking or wear, as the 2024 MOT noted surface cracks on edges. Inspect the offside front wiper blade system, which failed in 2025, and verify it has been replaced. Review service records for regular maintenance, particularly brake and suspension components. Negotiate slightly for the two MOT failures, but the low mileage and clean 2023 MOT history mitigate some risks.

The 1.242cc petrol engine offers decent fuel economy, likely 40-50 mpg on the motorway. As a Euro 6 DG vehicle, it incurs £0 road tax. Insurance groups for the Swift typically range from 15-20, costing £500-£700 annually. Routine maintenance (oil changes, tyre rotations) should cost £200-£300 yearly. Estimated annual running cost: £1,000-£1,300.

Focus on the tyres for deep cracks or uneven wear, as the 2024 MOT highlighted surface cracks. Check the offside front wiper blade for proper function and replacement history. Inspect the windscreen for chips or cracks that could worsen. Verify the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion, common in older vehicles. Review service records for consistent maintenance.

This 2020 Suzuki Swift has covered 20,678 miles, below the average for its age. While it has a clean 2023 MOT, two subsequent failures—tyre surface cracks and a wiper blade defect—indicate aging components. No model-wide reliability data is available, but the vehicle's low mileage and Euro 6 DG compliance offer some reassurance.

No aggregate reliability data is available for the Suzuki Swift model, so this assessment focuses solely on the vehicle's specific history.
