2011 Fiat Swift 3.0L Diesel · FJ61 ACO

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-12-03 assessment at 24,312 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 showed similar pass results, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical issues. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been well-kept, with no significant wear or damage detected in the inspected components. The mileage progression shows a gradual increase, from 17,812 miles in 2021 to 24,312 miles in 2025, averaging approximately 1,300 miles annually. This low mileage for a 15-year-old vehicle implies infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to component stiffness or corrosion in areas like the suspension bushes, steering linkage, and exhaust system. Notably, the 2022-12-07 test at 19,934 miles and the 2023-12-01 test at 22,185 miles reveal no irregularities, reinforcing the reliability of the maintenance history. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the underbody for rust, particularly around the chassis rails and suspension mounts, as low-mileage vehicles may develop corrosion from standing. Check the condition of the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear, as infrequent use can cause sticking or uneven pad contact. Additionally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system, as stagnant operation may lead to internal rust. The absence of recorded issues is positive, but physical checks are essential to confirm the vehicle’s structural and mechanical soundness.
