Our Verdict
Recommended for cautious buyers with a focus on brake and tyre maintenance. The Suzuki Swift shows generally good condition but requires attention to recurring front brake and tyre issues.
Inspect the front brake discs and pads for wear, as these have been flagged in multiple MOTs. Check tyre tread depth and condition, particularly on the front tyres, which were noted as worn close to the legal limit. Review service records to confirm regular maintenance, and negotiate slightly for the recurring brake issues. Be cautious of potential hidden costs related to brake component replacements.
The 1.2L petrol engine is fuel-efficient, with estimated combined economy of 45-50 mpg. As a Euro 6 DG vehicle, it incurs £0 annual road tax. Insurance group placement is typically mid-range (15-20), costing £1,000-£1,200 annually. Routine maintenance (brake checks, tyre replacements) should remain moderate, with expected annual running costs of £1,200-£1,500.
Focus on the front brake system: check for warped discs, thin pads, and uneven wear. Inspect front tyres for uneven tread wear or damage, as these were flagged in 2024. Verify that the vehicle’s service history includes timely brake and tyre maintenance. Check for any signs of brake fluid leaks or ABS warning lights, which could indicate deeper issues.
The 2020 Suzuki Swift has a mostly clean MOT history, with minor brake and tyre defects recorded in 2024 and 2025. At 33,498 miles (6 years old), the mileage is below average for its age, suggesting careful ownership. No aggregate reliability data is available for the SWIFT model, but the vehicle’s recent MOT pass indicates acceptable maintenance.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Suzuki Swift model, making it difficult to assess broader reliability trends.
