Our Verdict
This 2017 Suzuki Swift is a sensible buy with a clean MOT record and low mileage for its age. The only caution is minor tyre perishing noted at recent tests, which is easily addressed.
Given the consistently clean MOT history, this Swift is a low-risk purchase, but you should still request full service history to confirm routine maintenance such as cambelt (where applicable), oil changes, and brake checks have been carried out. The 998cc petrol engine is straightforward and cheap to maintain, so any independent garage can service it. Use the noted rear tyre perishing from the June 2026 MOT as a negotiating point to request part-exchange or a discount toward a new pair of rear tyres.
The 1.0-litre (998cc) petrol Swift is known for excellent fuel economy, typically returning over 55 mpg in real-world driving, keeping fuel costs low. Road tax for a 2017 petrol car of this size is usually in a low band, and insurance groups for the Swift are modest, making it an affordable first or second car. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance are around £800-£1,000.
The most recent MOT on 2026-06-09 noted slight cracking or perishing on both rear tyres (5.2.3 (d) (ii)), and the 2025 test showed the same on both front tyres, so inspect all four tyres closely for age-related cracking and budget for replacements if needed. Beyond tyres, check the 998cc engine for smooth cold starts and listen for unusual noises, though no mechanical defects appear in the MOT record. Verify brake condition and suspension over a short test drive, as these were not flagged but are standard wear items on a car now nine years old.
The silver 2017 Suzuki Swift (MJ17WPW) has passed every MOT since first registered in June 2017, with no failures recorded across five tests. Recorded mileage is 25,016 miles as of June 2026, which is well below typical averages for a nine-year-old car. Minor tyre cracking or perishing has been noted on front tyres in 2025 and rear tyres in 2026, but these are advisories rather than failures.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Suzuki Swift, so reliability claims cannot be benchmarked against the wider model population.
