2016 Fiat Swift 2.3L Diesel · FJ66 ECC

The 2016 Fiat Swift presents as roadworthy following the most recent pass recorded on 11 March 2026 at 18,870 miles, with no defects listed. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing clean passes in 2025 and 2024 alongside two failed tests on the same dates as later passes where the tester logged no defects. This pattern points to administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than any mechanical deterioration. Annual mileage sits at roughly 1,887 per year against a ten-year life, a low figure confirmed by the record: 13,988 miles on 7 March 2024, 14,851 on 17 March 2025, and 18,870 by 11 March 2026. The 3,019-mile gain in the latest year is the largest single jump yet remains modest. Such limited use over a decade, with the two early-2024 and early-2026 failures carrying zero recorded faults, suggests the vehicle was lightly run and likely stored for long periods rather than neglected through high wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the risk that standing time promotes corrosion and seized components unseen in a clean MOT. The absence of advisories across every entry means worn tyres, wiper blades, or exhaust emissions were never flagged, so previous owners appear to have kept basic consumables within limits. Verify the V5C and test certificates for the 6 March 2024 and 11 March 2026 failures, since no defects were cited yet the vehicle was initially rejected. Confirm structural integrity underneath for rust before purchase, as low-mileage vans left idle often hide decay the annual test did not capture.
