2015 Fiat Swift 2.3L Diesel · AAZ 232

The vehicle presents a stable and sound maintenance trend, evidenced by a clean pass on 22 February 2025 at 25,213 miles with zero defects recorded. Every MOT test in the history returned a pass without any advisories or failures, indicating consistent mechanical care and no recurring faults. This unblemished record suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a high standard, addressing wear items before they became critical. The recorded mileage of 25,213 miles over an eleven-year lifespan equates to roughly 2,292 miles annually, which is exceptionally low. The data shows steady, incremental accumulation rather than sudden spikes. Between the August 2021 test at 15,546 miles and the February 2022 test at 16,700 miles, the car covered just over 1,100 miles in nearly six months. Mileage then increased consistently by roughly 2,200 to 3,200 miles annually through to the February 2025 test. Such low annual mileage implies short, localized journeys, which can sometimes prevent the engine and exhaust systems from reaching optimal operating temperatures. Despite the flawless MOT record, a buyer must inspect components that degrade through age and inactivity rather than use. Tyres and rubber suspension bushes often perish from standing still, developing cracks and perishing long before the tread wears down. Check the tyre sidewall dates to ensure they are not exceeding six years of age, as older rubber compromises structural integrity. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion, a common issue on vehicles that sit idle, which can cause binding calipers and uneven braking until the rust wears off. Inspect the exhaust system for condensation-related corrosion, as short trips allow moisture to accumulate inside the box rather than burning off.
