I'm glad that Team-BHP and our PDI checklist saved the day for you. However, I am surprised that you chose to check the year of manufacture only at delivery time, and not in your pre-delivery visit.

Insist on a pre-registration check. During that check, have a look at the VIN number of the car. In case of Swift, it is usually under the hood on the left had side edge. The VIN number allows you to ascertain the manufacturing month and year from the last two alpha numerals of the VIN number ( I am not fully sure, but that seems to be the case). During my pre-registration check I did not do this. Big mistake.
Hopefully, others learn from your mistake. Thank you for sharing this experience with us.

Finally, many of you might be wondering why I am not naming the agency here.
We encourage 100% transparency in content. Do share the name of the dealer, our user discretion ensures a mature judgement.
