2015 Fiat Swift 2.3L Diesel · MX65 EWF

This Fiat Swift has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across five consecutive tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the examinations conducted between October 2021 and December 2025. The most recent test on 9 December 2025—just seven months prior to today—confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the absence of any recorded issues does not preclude undetected wear or deferred maintenance. The pattern suggests either meticulous upkeep or a history of minor faults that were either overlooked or resolved without formal MOT intervention. The recorded mileage of 52,831 miles over 11 years—approximately 4,800 miles annually—is notably low for a vehicle of this age, indicating either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the October 2022 (38,211 miles) and October 2023 (44,067 miles) tests, adding 5,856 miles in under a year, yet even this rate remains modest. The absence of advisories or defects across these intervals implies that, if the vehicle was stored, it was likely kept in a manner that prevented corrosion or fluid degradation. However, low mileage does not guarantee absence of structural issues, particularly in areas prone to moisture retention such as wheel arches, sills, or underbody components. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, including coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are common wear items that may not always trigger MOT failures until they reach critical failure points. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, warrant close examination for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs—common issues on older Fiat models with light usage. Underbody corrosion, particularly around the sills, subframe, and exhaust system, should be scrutinised, as prolonged stationary periods can accelerate rust progression even at low mileages. Finally, fluid levels (brakes, power steering, coolant) and condition (leaks, discolouration) should be checked, as these are often neglected in low-mileage vehicles where owners assume maintenance is less urgent.
