Our Verdict

Highly recommended. This Suzuki Swift is an exceptional example of a reliable city car, boasting a flawless MOT record and consistent mileage.

Given the pristine MOT history, your primary focus should be on the service record. Ensure the oil changes have been performed at regular intervals to maintain the health of the 1.2L petrol engine. Check for any evidence of recent tyre replacements, as the lack of MOT advisories suggests the current owner is proactive with maintenance.

Since there are no recorded failures to negotiate on, focus your attention on the interior wear and tear and the condition of the white paintwork. Ask for documentation regarding any major preventative maintenance that may have occurred outside of the MOT process, such as brake fluid or coolant flushes.

The 1242cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making this an economical choice for urban commuting. It typically falls into a low insurance group and a modest tax band, keeping fixed annual costs manageable.

Maintenance costs for the Swift are generally low due to its mechanical simplicity. Combined with fuel economy and low tax, the overall cost of ownership is among the lowest in its class.

While the MOT history is clean, always perform a physical check of the suspension components and brake pads, as these are standard wear items that may not have triggered a failure yet. Inspect the white exterior for any stone chips or parking scuffs that wouldn't appear on an MOT report.

Check the electrical systems, including the infotainment and air conditioning, to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Finally, verify that the tyre treads are consistent across both axles, despite the lack of recorded defects in the 2025 test.

This 2016 white Suzuki Swift (CA65HNH) presents as an incredibly well-maintained vehicle. With a total of 63,729 miles recorded as of December 2025, it has maintained a steady usage pattern of approximately 6,000 miles per year. Most impressively, it has passed five consecutive MOT tests without a single recorded defect, suggesting a high standard of care.

While aggregate data is unavailable, this specific vehicle's history of five clean MOTs strongly suggests high individual reliability.
