2018 Fiat Hobby 2.3L Diesel · R60 EKE

The 2018 Fiat Hobby presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 25,410 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to this, the vehicle passed cleanly on 9 July 2024 at 23,511 miles and on 30 June 2023 at 20,587 miles. The two earlier failures dated 9 July 2024 and 22 June 2023, both at near-identical mileages to their subsequent passes, carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the eight-year record. The odometer shows 25,410 miles against an eight-year lifespan, a mean of roughly 3,176 miles per year. The accumulation is gentle and consistent: 20,572 miles in June 2023, 23,511 by July 2024, and 25,410 by June 2025. Such low annual use suggests prolonged standing periods between short journeys, a pattern that typically accelerates perishing of tyres, wiper blades, and flexible brake hoses while leaving drivetrain and structural components lightly stressed. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, offering no flag of consumable wear or serious mechanical risk across the timeline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on components the low-mileage, stationary-prone profile tends to hide. The tester should check brake calipers for binding after idle months, examine coil springs and suspension bushes for age-related cracking rather than wear, and assess underside structural integrity for corrosion promoted by damp storage. Tyre sidewall condition and date codes warrant verification irrespective of tread depth, given the limited rotation these covers have seen since 2018.
