2013 Fiat Swift 2.3L Diesel · FX63 VTL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent 2025 test at 36,884 miles. Following a period of mechanical concern, the car has returned to a state with no recorded defects across consecutive tests. The lack of advisories in 2024 and 2025 suggests that the previous owner has addressed identified issues and that the vehicle currently meets minimum operational standards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, moving from 10,194 miles in 2016 to the current 36,884 miles in late 2025. While low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown, which appears consistent with the recurring issues seen earlier in the history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the offside front inner drive shaft CV boot, as this was flagged as severely deteriorated in both 2022 and 2023. Although the 2024 and 2025 tests show no defects, rubber boots are prone to cracking and tearing over time or if left stationary, necessitating a check for any grease leakage or tearing around the joint. Given the low annual mileage, it is also vital to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and seized calipers, as these often suffer on vehicles that sit for long periods without regular use.
