2019 Fiat Swift 2.3L Diesel · FY19 GLK

The 2019 Fiat Swift remains roadworthy, as the latest DVSA test on 2 August 2025 at 10,728 miles passed without any defects, continuing a pattern of clean outcomes from the previous four MOTs. With a recorded mileage of 10,728 miles at a 2019 registration, the vehicle averages just over 1,500 miles per year, well below the typical wear rates for its age, suggesting either light use or extended periods of inactivity. The interval between the 2022 test at 5,177 miles and the 2023 test at 7,835 miles shows an accumulation of 2,658 miles in one year, followed by a slower increase to 9,656 miles by July 2024 and a further 1,072 miles to the 2025 test, indicating a steady but modest usage pattern. The presence of a failed test on the same day as a pass in July 2024, both at 9,656 miles, points to a remedial correction before the subsequent pass. A buyer should therefore focus on mechanical components that commonly show wear despite low mileage, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding rear brake calipers, as well as the condition of the brake discs and pads, which may have been serviced but could still exhibit uneven wear. Visual inspection for structural rust on the chassis, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, and verification of the exhaust system’s condition are advisable. Although the MOT record shows no recorded defects, checking tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and confirming that the recent test’s 12‑month validity remains current will ensure the vehicle’s continued roadworthiness.
