Our Verdict
Highly recommended for buyers seeking a low-mileage city car with a pristine MOT record. This Suzuki Swift is an exceptional example that has consistently passed inspections without defects throughout its entire history.
When inspecting this specific Swift, your priority should be verifying the service history. While the MOT records show no mechanical failures, you must ensure that the vehicle has been serviced according to manufacturer intervals to maintain the 1.2cc engine. Given the low mileage, check that oil changes have been performed regularly, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from oil dilution.
Check the condition of the tyres specifically, as tyres are a common failure point for this model across the aggregate data. Despite this car having no recorded defects, ensure the tread depth is consistent across all wheels. Also, inspect the black paintwork for stone chips, which can be more visible on darker finishes.
The 1.2cc petrol engine is known for its efficiency, typically falling into a lower insurance group and tax band. Owners can generally expect competitive fuel economy, making it ideal for daily commuting.
Annual maintenance costs for the Swift are typically low due to its simple mechanical design. You should budget an annual running cost of approximately £800-£1,000, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing costs.
Since this vehicle has zero recorded MOT failures, the inspection should focus on signs of wear rather than known faults. Check the wheel bearings for any humming noises while driving, as this is identified as a common reason for MOT failures for the Swift in our aggregate data analysis.
Pay close attention to the headlamp alignment and brightness, as the data indicates this is a frequent failure point for this model. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for signs of uneven wear or rust, despite the low mileage, which can occur if the car has been used sporadically.
This 2018 Suzuki Swift sits at 39,117 miles, which is significantly lower than the fleet average for its age. The vehicle boasts a remarkably clean MOT history, with five consecutive passes and not a single failure or advisory recorded since its 2018 registration. The 1.2cc petrol engine combined with the low mileage makes this a high-value proposition for urban driving.
The Suzuki Swift maintains a strong reputation for reliability, with aggregate data showing a high pass rate compared to many competitors in its class.
