2018 Fiat Hobby 2.3L Diesel · VX68 AOW

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT pass dated 12 January 2026 at 37,301 miles with no defects recorded, establishing roadworthy status. The maintenance trend across the supplied records stays stable, showing consecutive passes in December 2022, December 2023, December 2024 and January 2026. A failure logged on 7 January 2026 at identical mileage but with no defects listed interrupts that sequence, pointing to a procedural or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage remains low for a 2018 model, totalling 37,301 miles over roughly eight years, an average near 4,663 miles annually. The December 2022 test captured 19,444 miles. By December 2023 the odometer read 27,378 miles, a yearly gain of 7,934. The next test in December 2024 showed 31,635 miles, adding only 4,257. From that point to the January 2026 pass the vehicle covered 5,666 miles across thirteen months. The history is sparse yet free of advisories, reflecting consistent annual testing without flagged wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection. The unexplained January 2026 failure mandates retrieving the DVSA failure reason before purchase. Low mileage and probable standing periods elevate risk of degraded suspension bushes, perished coil springs, corroded brake discs and binding calipers unseen by the tester. Structural integrity beneath the body shell warrants checks for rust, particularly around chassis joints. The MOT logged no exhaust emissions issues or tyre defects, but age can crack wiper blades and sidewalls regardless of tread depth. Previous keepers met statutory test dates yet the anomalous failure suggests occasional carelessness in documentation or vehicle presentation. A independent mechanical appraisal remains the prudent route to confirm the clean record translates to sound condition.
