Our Verdict
A solid, sensible choice for city driving that offers good fuel efficiency, though recent MOT history suggests a history of neglecting basic wear and tear items items like tyres and wipers.
When viewing this specific Swift, check the condition of all four tyres. The MOT history for 2024 and 2025 shows multiple failures due to sidewall damage, cracking, and tears, suggesting the previous owner may have been slow to replace worn rubber. Ensure the current tyres have ample tread and no visible structural damage.\nAsk for a full service history to ensure the 1.2cc hybrid engine has been maintained regularly. Suzuki's hybrid systems are robust, but pay attention to whether the brake fluid has been changed recently, as the MOT noted thin rear pads in 2024.
The 1.2-litre hybrid engine is designed for efficiency, making it a low-cost option for urban commuters. You can expect low fuel consumption and a relatively low insurance group given the car size and reliability.\n\nMaintenance costs for this model are generally low due to its simple mechanical design. Estimate annual running costs at approximately £700-£900, covering fuel, modest tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Pay close attention to the wheels and tyres; the vehicle has failed multiple times for sidewall cuts and perishing rubber. Inspect for any signs of impact damage or uneven wear which might indicate alignment issues.\n\nTest the windscreen washer system and blades thoroughly, as these were a point of failure in 2024. Additionally, check the brake pads and discs; the history indicates the rear inner pads were noted as wearing thin during the 2024 inspection.
This 2017 Suzuki Swift Hybrid is a well-used example with approximately 64,611 miles, which is typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. While the most recent MOT passed with no defects, previous tests show a pattern of avoidable failures related to tyre condition and brake wear, which buyers should verify have been fully addressed by the current owner.
The Suzuki Swift has a strong reputation for mechanical simplicity and reliability, particularly in its mild-hybrid configuration.
