2017 Fiat Swift 2.3L Diesel · CBS 50

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean passes across its lifetime. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 14,114 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This trend indicates a stable maintenance history where the vehicle has consistently met DVSA safety and emission standards without the recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation often seen in older vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old car, averaging approximately 1,568 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 5,887 miles and the 2025 test at 14,114 miles, the vehicle covered only 8,227 miles over four years. This low usage suggests minimal wear on major components like the engine, gearbox, and suspension assembly. However, the long periods of standing can sometimes lead to age-related issues such as perished rubber seals or brake fluid contamination which MOT tests may not capture. Given the clean MOT record, an in-person inspection should focus on components affected by time and inactivity rather than mileage. A buyer should check the tyres for flat-spotting or cracking due to age, as low tread depth often masks structural rubber degradation. It is also vital to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers have not seized from long periods of inactivity. Checking the chassis for early-stage surface rust remains standard practice to ensure the low mileage has not hidden environmental damage.
