2018 Fiat Swift 2.3L Diesel · PO68 AKF

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status following the most recent inspection. Although the tester flagged headlamp aim discrepancies during the June 2026 test at 22,063 miles, the car passed immediately after these adjustments were made. The absence of any advisories or structural defects across the entire MOT history suggests a well-maintained vehicle that has not suffered from significant mechanical or corrosion issues. The mileage pattern indicates exceptionally low usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,758 miles per year. The records show a steady, albeit slow, accumulation of mileage, moving from 7,596 miles in November 2021 to 22,063 miles in June 2026. This low-mileage profile suggests the car has spent significant time stationary or was used only for short, infrequent trips. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it can sometimes lead to dried seals or flat spots on tyres if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that may suffer from lack of use rather than heavy wear. Check the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking or flat spotting, as the low mileage does not always equate to fresh rubber. Inspect the battery health and fluid levels, particularly the brake fluid, which can absorb moisture over time in low-use vehicles. Since the headlamp aim caused a momentary failure in June 2026, ensure the light units are securely mounted and the adjustment mechanisms function correctly to prevent future alignment issues.
