Our Verdict

This 2017 Suzuki Swift is a sensible buy for a low-mileage used car, with a clean MOT record and no failures across five consecutive tests. The only caution is the noted tyre cracking at the most recent MOT, which should be addressed before or soon after purchase.

Given the consistently clean MOT record, focus your negotiation on the condition of the four tyres, which the June 2026 test noted as cracking though not down to the cords. A set of replacement tyres could be a reasonable ask or deduction from the price. Check for a full service history to confirm the low mileage is genuine and that routine maintenance such as cambelt or chain checks (depending on variant) and fluid changes have been done despite limited use.

The 1242cc petrol engine in this Swift is a small, economical unit that typically returns strong fuel economy, keeping weekly fuel costs modest for a light-use driver. As a pre-April 2017 registered car it falls under older VED rules, likely in a low tax band, and insurance groups for the Swift are generally low. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and basic maintenance are around £800-£1,000 given the low annual mileage.

The June 2026 MOT specifically noted all four tyres cracking up but with no cords showing, so inspect each tyre closely for sidewall and tread cracking and budget for replacement if deterioration has progressed. The May 2022 test recorded marks on the front bumper, so check the front end for cosmetic damage or poorly repaired scrapes. Beyond the advisories, verify the 13,152 mileage against service stamps and look for any signs of underuse such as seized brakes or flat-spotted tyres from long standing.

The grey 2017 Suzuki Swift (YF17URH) has covered just 13,152 miles in nine years, well below typical averages for the model age. MOT history from 2022 to 2026 shows four passes with no defects and one minor advisory for front bumper marks in 2022, then tyre cracking noted in 2026. With no aggregate reliability data available, the individual history is the best indicator and it points to a well-kept, lightly used vehicle.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Suzuki Swift, so this individual vehicle's clean test history is the primary evidence of condition.
