Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to significant
When viewing this vehicle, your primary focus should be the underside and the condition of the braking system. The September 2025 MOT failure record indicates extensive corrosion across both front and rear brake pipes, including sections from the flexi-hoses to the drums. You should verify that these pipes have been replaced with new, corrosion-resistant components rather than simply being cleaned or treated.
Ask the seller for specific documentation regarding the brake pipe repairs following the 19 September 2025 failure. Additionally, check the condition of the front brake discs, as the 2024 MOT record noted they were worn, pitted, or scored. Ensure the windscreen wipers and all exterior lighting, such as the stop lamps mentioned in previous failures, are in full working order.
The 1242cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively economical for urban driving. Fuel economy for this model is typically competitive for a small hatchback.
Maintenance costs for a Suzuki Swift are usually moderate, though the recent history suggests you should budget for brake component replacements. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are approximately £1,100-£1,400 depending on annual mileage and driving style.
The most critical inspection point is the braking system. Given the 2025 MOT failure involving 'excessively corroded' brake pipes on both the nearside and offside (front and rear), you must inspect the pipes and flexi-hoses for any signs of surface rust or weeping fluid.
Beyond the brakes, check the front brake discs for pitting or scoring, a known issue from the 2024 MOT. Also, test the windscreen wipers for effective clearing and verify that all lamps, particularly the stop lamps and indicators, are functioning correctly to avoid common issues seen in this vehicle's recent history.
This 2015 black Suzuki Swift 1.2 petrol has covered 79,655 miles, which is above the model average of 5,829 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of brake-related issues, specifically multiple failures in September 2025 regarding corroded brake pipes. Although a pass was achieved on 26 September 2025, the severity of the previous failures is a notable factor.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80% MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to headlamps, tyres, and wheel bearings.
