Question 3

What should I check when buying a used 2018 Suzuki Swift in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Request as much service history as possible — regular servicing matters more than the seller's promises. Inspect sills, wheel arches and underbody for rust — especially on coastal and South Island cars. Check the air conditioning blows cold and all electronics work on the test drive. Run a PPSR check and review the WOF history before committing to purchase. Compare condition and service records across listings — the best-value example is usually the best-kept one.
