Our Verdict
This 2017 Suzuki Swift is a reasonable buy for a budget-conscious buyer, but the corroded brake and fuel pipes flagged in 2025 warrant closer inspection. Ensure any corrosion has been properly repaired before purchase given the repeated MOT mentions.
When negotiating, factor in the 2025 MOT failure where brake pipes and fuel pipes were corroded and headlamp aim was incorrect; although it passed on a retest the same day, confirm with the seller that proper repairs were carried out rather than temporary fixes. Ask to see the service history and any invoices for brake or fuel pipe work, as the May 2025 entries show corrosion was a recurring theme across both the failure and pass. Given no aggregate model reliability data is available, base your judgement on this car's own history and a professional inspection.
The 998cc petrol engine in this Swift is among the smaller capacities on UK roads, so fuel economy should be strong, though exact figures are not in the provided data. As a 2017 petrol under 1.0 litre, it likely falls into a low VED band, but the specific tax band and insurance group are not stated here. Typical maintenance for a lightweight Suzuki is modest; with the noted exhaust and pipe corrosion, budget for occasional underside care, and we estimate annual running costs at £700-£900 including fuel, tax, insurance and routine servicing.
Inspect the brake pipes and fuel pipes closely, as the May 2025 MOT recorded corrosion on both; although the retest passed, check for fresh coating or replaced sections and look for rust on the underside of this blue Swift. Verify the headlamp aim is correct, since the 2025 failure cited near-side too high and off-side incorrect beam image, and confirm the registration plate lamps work after the 2025 inoperative note. Examine the front exhaust flexi mesh noted as split but not blowing in 2024, as it may now require replacement to avoid future noise or failure.
The blue 998cc petrol Swift (MM17EKN) first registered in July 2017 has covered 63,523 miles as of its May 2026 MOT, which is modest for a nine-year-old car. Its MOT history shows a clean pass in 2023 and 2026, but a failure in May 2025 for headlamp aim and corroded pipes, with the same corrosion passing later the same day after likely rectification. The 2024 pass noted a split exhaust flexi mesh that was not blowing, suggesting minor ageing but no major fault.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Suzuki Swift, so this assessment relies solely on the individual history of MM17EKN.
