2017 Fiat Swift 2.3L Diesel · FP17 KXF

The 2017 Fiat Swift presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 August 2025 at 35,327 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since at least 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not required rectification work at any annual examination. Annual mileage sits low for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows 20,132 miles at the 12 August 2021 test, rising to 24,872 by 15 August 2022, 28,139 by 11 August 2023, 32,935 by 19 August 2024, and 35,327 by 15 August 2025. That equates to roughly 3,900 miles per year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The clean sheet across all entries suggests either careful ownership or limited use, though standing time can conceal perished rubber components not caught in a pass result. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the fault-free record. Low mileage with long stationary periods risks degraded suspension bushes, cracked tyres, and corroded brake discs or calipers that a pass test need not flag if within limits. Examine the exhaust system and underbody structural integrity for rust, as the Swift's age makes moisture ingress plausible even without MOT advisories. Verify service history matches the odometer and confirm fluids, cambelt if applicable, and brake condition reflect the stated care. The MOT alone proves legal compliance, not mechanical freshness.
