Swift New Swift Merlin 174: key facts

Its recorded specification includes a 3500kg MTPLM, 2.26m width and 2.72m height. The stated price range is £58000 to £72000, but equipment and specification should be confirmed for the individual vehicle.
- Rear lounge layout converts into a double bed, with the recorded layout also described as an end lounge and parallel bench configuration.
- The payload is 545kg, which provides a useful starting point for checking passengers, luggage and touring equipment against the 3500kg MTPLM.
- At 2.26m wide and 2.72m high, its dimensions need to be checked against storage, access and parking arrangements.
- The supplied editorial identifies a Peugeot Boxer 2.2L BlueHDi chassis, an 85L Dometic fridge, Truma Combi heating and a 100W solar panel.
- The supplied listing evidence records one current listing and three hosted images.
Worth knowing: Specifications can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment. The grounding data does not provide a production-year range.
Who the Swift New Swift Merlin 174 suits
Who it suits
- Couples wanting a rear lounge that can provide daytime seating and a double bed at night.
- Buyers who value a six-metre campervan footprint but can accommodate its 2.26m width and 2.72m height.
- Owners who need up to three berths and are prepared to manage payload within the 3500kg MTPLM.
Reasons to consider it
- The rear lounge gives the main living area a clear daytime and nighttime function without requiring a separate fixed bed.
- A 545kg payload offers a defined allowance to assess against occupants, water, luggage and added equipment.
- The supplied specification includes practical touring equipment, including Truma Combi heating, an 85L Dometic fridge and a 100W solar panel.
- The recorded layouts include rear lounge, end lounge and parallel bench, giving buyers a clear configuration point to verify before purchase.
What to check
- Confirm whether the vehicle has the rear lounge, end lounge or parallel bench arrangement recorded in the specification.
- Check the actual plated MTPLM, available payload and the likely touring load for up to three occupants.
- Measure storage access and parking clearance against the 2.26m width and 2.72m height.
- Verify the stated Peugeot Boxer 2.2L BlueHDi chassis and listed equipment on the specific vehicle.
- Check that the asking price sits within the recorded £58000 to £72000 range and understand which equipment is included.
Worth knowing: The supplied data records a price range rather than a price for every vehicle. The model is listed as having between two and three berths, so sleeping arrangements should be confirmed. No production years are supplied, so age-related comparisons cannot be made from the grounding data alone.

Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership points for the Swift New Swift Merlin 174
- Keep a realistic touring-load record because the 545kg payload must cover occupants, luggage and installed or carried equipment.
- Use the 2.72m height and 2.26m width when checking garages, car parks, gateways and narrow access routes.
- Plan the rear-lounge bed conversion as part of the daily routine, particularly when the campervan is occupied by three people.
- Check the sleeping arrangement and usable living space before each trip if the vehicle is being used as a three-berth campervan.
- Review the equipment list against the supplied specification, including the 85L fridge, Truma Combi heating and 100W solar panel.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the rear lounge as a fixed bed without allowing for its conversion.
- Relying on the six-metre length alone and overlooking the recorded width and height.
- Assuming the maximum three-berth description confirms the exact sleeping arrangement without checking the vehicle.
Worth knowing: The supplied information does not identify faults or a maintenance schedule. Equipment may vary by model year, trim and optional specification. Confirm weights and dimensions from the vehicle documentation before loading or storing it.
