Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a lo
Given the low mileage for a 2010 vehicle, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure the mechanical components have been maintained despite the infrequent use. Check that the 2024 MOT failures—specifically the offside rear brake pipe corrosion and the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage—were addressed with high-quality parts and not just temporary fixes.
When inspecting this specific 1.3L petrol model, check for any signs of age-related wear on rubber components, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from perished seals or hoses due to lack of use. Ensure the braking system feels consistent, particularly following the previous corrosion issue noted in the 2024 record.
The 1328cc petrol engine is generally efficient for urban driving, making it a cost-effective option for city commuters. You should expect moderate fuel economy consistent with a small-displacement petrol engine of this era.
Insurance groups for the Suzuki Swift are typically low, making it accessible for younger drivers. Maintenance costs for this model are usually manageable, though you should budget for standard consumables like tyres and brake pads, which are common failure points for this model aggregate. Estimated annual running costs are likely to be modest.
Based on the 2024 MOT history, pay close attention to the underside of the vehicle. Specifically, inspect the brake pipes near the fuel tank for any signs of remaining corrosion or grease buildup, as this was a recorded failure point.
Additionally, check the suspension components, particularly the anti-roll bar linkages and ball joint dust covers, to ensure they are not showing the deterioration seen in previous tests. It is also wise to check the condition of the tyres and headlamps, as these are identified as the most common MOT failure reasons for the Suzuki Swift model aggregate.
This 2010 red Suzuki Swift has covered 51,733 miles over its 16-year lifespan, which is significantly lower than the model average. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent two passing without any defects. While a failure occurred in 2024 regarding brake pipes and an anti-roll bar linkage, the vehicle has since cleared its inspections cleanly.
The Suzuki Swift shows an 80% average MOT pass rate across the aggregate data, with common issues relating to headlamps, tyres, and wheel bearings.
