Our Verdict
This is a strong buy for a low-mileage, well-maintained 2020 Suzuki Swift with a clean MOT record. The only minor note across four tests was a nail in a rear tyre, which was not a failure and has clearly been resolved.
Given the low mileage and clean MOT history, this Swift should command a fair price but is worth confirming the service schedule is up to date, as low annual use can mean longer gaps between services. Ask the seller for proof of routine maintenance, particularly oil changes and brake checks, since the car has only covered around 1,500 miles per year. Negotiate on the basis that a replacement near-side rear tyre may have been fitted in 2023, but otherwise the vehicle appears to need nothing immediately.
The 1.2-litre petrol engine in this Swift is known for modest fuel consumption, and as a Euro 6 DG vehicle it falls into a low VED band for a 2020 petrol car. Insurance groups for the Swift are typically low, making it cheap to cover for new drivers or city commuters. With only 7,716 miles on the clock, expected annual maintenance is minimal, and we estimate total running costs in the region of £700-£900 per year including fuel, tax, insurance and routine servicing.
The MOT history shows only one minor issue: a nail in the near-side rear tyre noted at the January 2023 test, which did not cause a failure. On inspection, confirm the tyre in question has been replaced or professionally repaired and check all four tyres for even wear given the car's low mileage. As no aggregate model data is available, rely on a general inspection of brakes, suspension and the 1242cc engine for leaks or unusual noises, though the clean MOT record suggests no underlying problems.
The white 2020 Suzuki Swift (YF69LWU) shows just 7,716 miles on its most recent MOT of March 2026, well below typical use for a six-and-a-half-year-old car. All four MOT tests from 2023 to 2026 passed with no recorded defects except a nail in the near-side rear tyre in 2023. With a 1242cc Euro 6 petrol engine, it presents as a lightly used, dependable small hatchback.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Suzuki Swift, so reliability claims cannot be made from provided statistics, though this example's individual history is clean.
