2016 Fiat Swift 2.3L Diesel · 97 CGM

The 2016 Fiat Swift presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 March 2026 at 31,685 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 24 July 2024 at 30,690 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have accumulated across the recorded history. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally low use for a ten-year-old vehicle. From the 15 May 2023 test at 30,481 miles, the car covered only 1,204 miles to the 24 July 2024 test, then just 887 miles to the September 2025 tests at 31,577 miles, and a mere 108 miles by March 2026. Such low annual accumulation, roughly 3,168 miles per year overall, suggests extended standing periods rather than regular daily use, though the DVSA record itself is sparse and clean with no advisories or corrosion flags logged at any stage. The September 2025 entry shows a fail and a pass on the same date at identical mileage of 31,577, with no defects recorded against either outcome. This duplicate anomaly implies an administrative re-test or data error rather than a genuine mechanical fault, and the buyer should verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed defect exists. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, the Swift appears mechanically sound on paper. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection for perished seals, flat-spotted tyres from prolonged storage, and hidden subframe corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles left standing often develop issues invisible to the MOT lane.
