Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a
When inspecting this 1.2L petrol Swift, verify that the rear indicators are the correct amber colour as per the May 2026 MOT failure. Because the mileage is notably low for a 2016 vehicle, check that the service history includes oil changes at appropriate intervals, as infrequent use can sometimes lead to neglected maintenance.
Negotiate based on the service history rather than the MOT record alone. While the MOT history is relatively clean, you should ask for evidence of any recent work done to rectify the incorrect indicator colours noted in the 2026 test.
The 1242cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it an economical choice for urban driving. Being a 2016 model, tax and insurance groups for this engine size are typically moderate, catering well to budget-conscious drivers.
Maintenance costs for the Suzuki Swift are generally predictable. While the model aggregate data shows headlamps, tyres, and wheel bearings as common failure points across the fleet, this specific vehicle has not recorded these issues in its recent history.
Focus your inspection on the lighting system to ensure all indicators and bulbs are functioning correctly and meet legal colour requirements, following the 2026 failure. Given the model's aggregate data, it is also wise to check the condition of the tyres and the operation of the headlamps.
Additionally, inspect the wheel bearings for any signs of noise or play during a test drive, as this is a common failure reason for this model across the wider dataset. Check the brake pads and discs, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes experience surface corrosion if left stationary for long periods.
This 2016 red Suzuki Swift has covered 37,528 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 5,829 miles per year. The MOT history shows four consecutive passes since 2023, with only one minor failure in May 2026 regarding indicator colours. This suggests a vehicle that has been used sparingly over its ten-year lifespan.
The Suzuki Swift shows an average MOT pass rate of 80.0% across the analysed fleet, with common issues relating to headlamps, tyres, and wheel bearings.
