AI Market Summary

Excellent fuel economy and low tax costs — Swift remains one of Ireland's most economical city cars, ideal for tight budgets.
At €8,995, pricing has fallen significantly year-on-year; good value, but verify mileage at 153k km sits comfortably within expected range for this age.
Timing chain rattle on cold starts is common at this mileage — listen carefully on first start; clutch wear and AC compressor failures also typical wear items.
Before purchase, request full service history and have a pre-buy inspection check engine noise on cold start and clutch engagement feel.
Two recalls on file — confirm both have been completed with your dealer or via CVRT database before committing to buy.
