Our Verdict
This 2020 Suzuki Swift is a reasonable buy if the recent tyre wear and wiper issues are addressed before purchase. Caution is advised due to a failed MOT in February 2026 for worn tyres, poor wipers, and low headlamp aim, though it passed two days later after rectification.
Ask to see the paperwork for the February 2026 MOT re-test and confirm the worn tyres (near-side front and rear, off-side front at 3mm) were replaced, the near-side wiper was renewed, and the off-side headlamp aim was corrected. A full service history for this 1.2-litre petrol Swift should be requested to verify routine maintenance given it is now past its sixth year.
The 1242cc petrol engine in this Euro 6 DG Swift is economical, with typical real-world figures around 50-55 mpg, keeping fuel costs modest for a car of this size. Road tax should be in a low band given the small displacement and Euro 6 compliance, and insurance groups for the Swift are generally low, making it cheap to cover.
On viewing AK69GUJ, verify the three tyres flagged at 3mm in the February 2026 failure (near-side front and rear, off-side front) have been replaced with at least 5mm tread, and check the fourth tyre's condition. Test the near-side front wiper for effective clearing and confirm the off-side front headlamp now aims correctly with no beam pattern issue.
The blue 2020 Suzuki Swift (AK69GUJ) has covered 41,973 miles as of its latest MOT in February 2026, which is modest for a six-and-a-half-year-old car. Its history shows two clean passes in 2023 and 2025, but a failure in February 2026 for three tyres worn to 3mm, ineffective near-side wiper, and off-side headlamp aim too low. The issues were resolved quickly with a pass on 9 February 2026, suggesting the seller attended to them promptly.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Suzuki Swift, so this vehicle's individual history of two clean passes and one quickly resolved failure is the best indicator of condition.
