Our Verdict
This 2020 Suzuki Swift is a reasonable buy with a largely clean recent MOT record, but the 2024 failure for brake and tyre faults warrants caution. Budget for a thorough inspection of brakes and tyres before committing.
When viewing this Swift, ask for evidence that the 2024 MOT failure items were properly repaired — receipts for brake pads, discs, and the three tyres would confirm the work was done to a good standard. The car has covered roughly 13,000 miles per year, so check the service history matches this usage with regular oil changes and scheduled maintenance for the 1242cc petrol engine. As no aggregate reliability data is available for this model, lean on the individual history: the lack of defects in the last three tests is reassuring, but the earlier tyre perishing notes from 2023 suggest the original tyres may have aged poorly.
The 1.2-litre petrol engine in this Euro 6 DG Swift is well known for low fuel consumption, typically returning 50-55 mpg in mixed driving which keeps weekly fuel costs modest. Annual road tax for a Euro 6 petrol of this size is usually in the lower bands, and insurance groups for the Swift are generally low, making it an inexpensive car to cover. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance are around £900-£1,100, though replacement tyres and brakes should be factored in given the 2024 history.
The 2024 MOT failure recorded front inner brake pads below 1.5 mm, a significantly worn front brake disc, and tears to the nearside front, offside front, and offside rear tyres caused by structural separation — inspect the current brakes and all four tyres closely for wear, cracking, or uneven deterioration. The 2023 test noted slight cracking or perishing on both front tyres, so check whether any tyres fitted now are the originals from 2020 or newer replacements. As a black 2020 example, also examine paintwork for stone chips and verify the 61,973-mile odometer reading matches the documented history across each MOT entry.
The vehicle is a January 2020 registered black 1.2-litre petrol Suzuki Swift showing 61,973 miles at its latest July 2026 MOT, which is consistent with average use for its age. Its MOT history includes four passes and one failure, with the 2024 failure relating to worn front brake pads and discs plus three tyres with structural tears. Since then it has passed every test with no defects recorded, suggesting the issues were addressed.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Suzuki Swift, so this assessment relies solely on the individual vehicle's test history.
