2014 Fiat Swift 2.3L Diesel · FX64 VZB

The 2014 Fiat Swift demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-05-21 confirming no defects at 109,881 miles. The maintenance trend shows consistency, as the vehicle passed all tests after 2022, despite earlier failures in 2022 and 2024 that recorded no defects. These failures likely reflect administrative errors or minor issues resolved prior to retesting, as no recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident in the record. The absence of advisories in the latest test suggests the car has been maintained to acceptable standards. The mileage of 109,881 miles over 12 years aligns with typical usage, averaging 9,157 miles annually. The MOT history shows irregular intervals between tests, with a two-year gap between 2022 and 2024, followed by a 14-month gap to the latest 2025 test. This pattern may indicate periods of reduced use or delayed servicing, though the vehicle’s mechanical components have not shown deterioration. The lack of defects in the most recent test, despite the age, suggests the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep, though no evidence of proactive maintenance beyond compliance exists. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without immediate warning. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often manifest gradually. Structural integrity, including underbody rust, warrants scrutiny, as the car’s age and mileage increase vulnerability to corrosion. While the MOT record shows no critical issues, the absence of defect details in past failures means an in-person assessment is essential to confirm the vehicle’sTrue condition.
