2017 FIAT HOBBY OPTIMA T70GE2.3L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 19 March 2026 at 44,536 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This clean record suggests the vehicle has remained well-maintained against common mechanical and structural failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per annum. Between the 2022 test at 23,286 miles and the March 2026 test at 44,536 miles, the car covered 21,250 miles, maintaining a consistent and low-impact pattern. Such low mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension. However, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid seals if the vehicle has not been driven regularly over long distances. While the digital record shows no recurring faults, a buyer should still inspect specific areas associated with low-mileage use. Focus on checking for perished rubber bushings, split coolant hoses, or perished tyres that can occur when a vehicle sits stationary despite low mileage. Verify the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often affects vehicles that are used infrequently. Given the lack of structural advisories in the history, the chassis integrity appears sound based on the provided DVSA data.
