2017 Fiat Swift 2.3L Diesel · FN17 LMY

The 2017 Fiat Swift presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 March 2026 at 15,802 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT results across the available history. The recorded mileage reflects exceptionally light use for a nine-year-old vehicle. From the 5 June 2023 test at 10,451 miles, the car covered only 5,351 miles over the following 33 months, averaging roughly 1,756 miles per year. The gap between the 22 May 2024 test at 13,317 miles and the 27 May 2025 test at 14,752 miles shows just 1,435 miles added in that year. Such low annual accumulation suggests prolonged standing periods, though the DVSA record itself contains no advisories or flagged wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection despite the clean certificate trail. Long idle spells at this low mileage risk perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and sub-frame corrosion that a pass test may not capture if within tolerance. We would advise checking the condition of suspension mounting points, handbrake function after storage, and any moisture-related degradation to the exhaust system. Given the absence of recorded faults, the previous keeper appears to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The sparse but consistent MOT history offers no evidence of neglected upkeep, though the low usage pattern warrants verification of fluid changes and battery health beyond the scope of the test.
