Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage city car. The exceptionally low mileage and clean recent MOT history make this a compelling option, provided the service history matches the usage pattern.
With mileage this low for a 12-year-old vehicle, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history. Low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from a lack of regular oil changes if they are only used for very short trips. Check that the oil has been changed at appropriate intervals despite the low distance covered.
When viewing the car, check the condition of rubber components like tyres and belts, as these can perish from age even if they have plenty of tread. Since the 2024 MOT failure occurred at 28,444 miles, ensure that whatever issue caused that failure was documented as resolved in the subsequent pass.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for urban driving. Tax and insurance groups for this model are typically low, making it accessible for newer drivers or those on a budget.
Maintenance costs for a Suzuki Swift are generally predictable, though you should budget for items like tyres and brake components. Based on the low mileage, you may find that consumable items like brake pads last longer than average, but keep in mind that the aggregate data suggests tyres and wheel bearings are common failure points for this model.
Examine the tyres closely; while the MOT history for this specific vehicle is clean, the aggregate data for all Suzuki Swifts indicates that tyres are a frequent cause of failure. Check for uneven wear which could suggest suspension or wheel bearing issues.
Given the 2024 MOT failure at 28,444 miles, ask the seller for specific details on what failed and how it was rectified. Additionally, inspect the headlamps for clarity and functionality, as this is a noted common failure reason across the wider Suzuki Swift model range.
This 2014 Blue Suzuki Swift has covered significantly less than the model average, with just 28,804 miles recorded at its last MOT in May 2025. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with only one failure recorded in May 2024. Given the low usage, this vehicle represents a different profile than the typical high-mileage Swift found in the aggregate data.
The Suzuki Swift shows a 79.8% average MOT pass rate across the 133,051 vehicles analysed, with common issues relating to tyres, wheel bearings, and headlamps.
