Our Verdict

This is an exceptionally well-maintained example of a Suzuki Swift with low mileage for its age. It is a highly recommended purchase for those looking for a reliable, cheap-to-run city car.

When inspecting this Swift, your primary focus should be the service history. Given the car has only covered 12,000 miles, it should have had a consistent annual service to ensure the engine remains well-lubated. Check that the owner has followed the manufacturer schedule, as low mileage can sometimes lead to neglected oil change intervals.

Pay close attention to the tyres. The MOT records from 2024 and 2025 highlight 'cracking or perishing' on multiple tyres, which suggests the car may have sat stationary for long periods or used a lower-quality rubber compound. Ensure any flagged tyres have been replaced with high-quality brands to avoid immediate expenditure after purchase.

The 1.2-litre engine is renowned for its efficiency, typically offering excellent MPG figures and a low insurance group rating. As a Euro 6 compliant vehicle, it is exempt from most Low Emission Zone (LEZ) charges across the UK.

Maintenance costs for the Swift are generally low due to its simple mechanical design and affordable parts. You should expect annual running costs to be between £700 and £900, including fuel, tax, and routine servicing.

Inspect the condition of all four tyres thoroughly. The MOT history shows a pattern of perishing and damage on the front and nearside rear; even if they have been replaced, check for sidewall damage or deep cracks that indicate the rubber is aging poorly despite low tread depth.

Beyond the tyres, check for any signs of rust on the wheel arches, though this is rare on newer Suzukis. Given the low mileage, check the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, which can occur if the vehicle is not driven frequently enough to keep the components clean.

This 2020 Suzuki Swift is in impressive condition, having covered just 12,292 miles in over six years, which is significantly below the national average. The MOT history shows a remarkably clean record with no mechanical failures, only minor tyre-related advisories noted in the most recent tests. The 1.2cc petrol engine and Euro 6 status make it a practical and tax-efficient choice for modern UK road driving.

The Suzuki Swift is widely regarded as a robust and reliable small car with straightforward mechanical setup.
