Our Verdict
This Suzuki Swift is a solid prospect for buyers seeking a high-mileage but consistently passing vehicle. The clean MOT record over the last five years suggests a lack of immediate major mechanical failures recorded at testing.
When inspecting this specific 1.2L Swift, focus on the high mileage relative to the model's average annual mileage. While the MOT history shows no recorded defects, you should verify the service history to ensure regular oil changes have been performed, which is vital for the 1242cc petrol engine.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at 94,005 miles, the car is well into its mature life. Check for any signs of wear in the interior and ensure the clutch and gearbox feel smooth, as these are common areas of interest on high-mileage small petrol cars. Always cross-reference the physical condition with the MOT data to ensure no undocumented issues exist.
The 1242cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a relatively low insurance group and tax band, making it an economical choice for urban driving. Fuel economy for this model is typically efficient, though actual figures will depend on your driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for a Suzuki Swift are generally predictable, but at nearly 95,000 miles, you should budget for wear-and-tear items such as suspension components or brakes. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, sit in the mid-range for a small hatchback.
Given the model's aggregate data, pay close attention to the tyres, wheel bearings, and headlamp alignment, as these are the most frequent failure points for the Suzuki Swift across the wider fleet. Even though this specific vehicle has had no recorded failures, these components are prone to wear as mileage increases.
Inspect the brake pads and discs, as well as the condition of the suspension bushings. Because the MOT history shows no defects for the last five years, a physical inspection is necessary to check for any recent developments in wear that have not yet been captured in an official test.
This 2014 red Suzuki Swift 1.2 petrol has covered 94,005 miles since its first registration in March 2014. The vehicle has maintained a consistent passing record with no defects or advisories noted in its MOT history from 2022 through to early 2026. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average, the continuity of passes is a notable feature of its recent history.
The Suzuki Swift shows a 79.8% average MOT pass rate across 133,051 analysed vehicles, with common failures typically related to tyres, wheel bearings, and headlamps.
