2018 Fiat Swift 2.3L Diesel · FN68 GFG

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend across its entire recorded history. The most recent test conducted on 2 June 2025 at 13,589 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistency of clean passes over the last five years indicates that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained within operating parameters without the emergence of recurring faults or progressive mechanical failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,700 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2022, the car covered only 1,740 miles, suggesting periods of infrequent use or long-term storage. The gap between the October 2023 test and the June 2025 test shows a slight increase in activity with 1,832 miles covered over twenty months. While this low usage implies minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it also introduces specific risks associated with long periods of inactivity. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on items common to low-mileage cars. Long periods of standing can lead to flat-spotted tyres, perished rubber suspension bushes, and seized brake calipers or linkages. The buyer should check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often fails to clear away surface rust. Additionally, verify the condition of the brake fluid and oil, as these fluids degrade chemically over time regardless of the mileage recorded on the odometer.
