I am about to buy a Suzuki swift 2014 from turners terapa. should i get an AA report? are swifts reliable? what is the safety rating please i am confused?

Hi there,
The Swift is a very popular and reliable vehicle option.
If the car is NZ new, it would have had an ANCAP crash test rating when new.
This age car now, whether it be NZ new or an import would have an updated rating method publish by Rightcar NZ. An explanation into the types of ratings now used can be found here: https://rightcar.govt.nz/safety-ratings
It is always a benefit to having a vehicle inspection carried out so you can buy with confidence, and avoid unwanted surprises after purchase. https://www.aa.co.nz/cars/buying-a-car/car-buying-guide/pre-purchase-vehicle-inspections/
