Our Verdict
This 2020 Suzuki Swift in blue is a sensible buy for a budget-conscious motorist, with a largely clean MOT record and modest mileage. The only notable blemish is a single headlamp-aim failure in 2025 that was promptly corrected and passed the same day.
Given the 2025 MOT failure for near-side headlamp aim too high, confirm with the seller that the alignment was properly adjusted and check both headlamps illuminate at a correct level during a night-time viewing. The January 2026 test flagged a defective off-side front wiper blade, so budget a few pounds for a replacement if not already done. Request the full service history to verify routine maintenance on this 1242cc petrol engine, as no model reliability data is available to offset gaps in records. Use the same-day retest evidence to negotiate confidently, as the failure was minor and did not indicate structural or mechanical neglect.
The 1.2-litre petrol engine in this Swift typically delivers strong fuel economy, and as a Euro 6 DG petrol it should fall into a low VED band, likely under £180 per year. Insurance groups for the Swift are generally low, keeping premiums affordable for new and experienced drivers alike. Routine maintenance such as servicing, tyres, and consumables like wiper blades is inexpensive, and we estimate total annual running costs in the region of £900-£1,100 including fuel, tax, insurance, and upkeep based on the low mileage profile.
On inspection, verify the near-side headlamp aim is correct following the 2025 failure and that the off-side front wiper noted in the January 2026 test has been replaced. Check all lighting, including the previously failed headlamp, for consistent beam pattern and no warning lights on the dashboard. With only 20,406 miles recorded, inspect tyres for age-related cracking as low mileage can mean older rubber, and review the bodywork on this blue example for stone chips given its six-and-a-half-year age. No other MOT defects were recorded across the remaining tests, so mechanical faults appear minimal from the official history.
The vehicle shows five MOT tests between 2023 and 2026, with four passes and one failure for a high near-side headlamp aim that was resolved on the same date. Recorded mileage has risen from 12,671 in January 2023 to 20,406 by January 2026, indicating light annual use of around 2,600 miles. The most recent test noted a defective off-side front wiper blade, a minor and inexpensive item. With no aggregate model data available, the assessment rests on this individual history, which is reassuring.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Suzuki Swift, so this assessment relies solely on the individual vehicle's test history provided.
