Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Focus on the service history to ensure the 2.3L diesel engine has been maintained despite the low annual usage. Low-mileage diesel vehicles can sometimes experience issues with particulate filters if they are not regularly driven at motorway speeds, so verify the usage patterns.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and battery; components on low-mileage vehicles often degrade due to age rather than wear. Ensure all lighting faults identified in the March 2026 test have been permanently resolved and not just temporarily patched.
The 2287cc diesel engine offers a balance of torque and efficiency, though the engine size will place it in a higher tax bracket and insurance group than smaller petrol alternatives. Maintenance costs are typically moderate, supported by a high model-wide MOT pass rate.
Annual costs will be driven primarily by the diesel fuel economy and the specific insurance group for this engine variant. Expect typical servicing costs for a diesel of this age.
Carefully check the rear lighting cluster, specifically the stop lamps, reversing lamp, and nearside rear indicators, following the failures recorded in March 2026. Ensure these are functioning correctly and that there is no evidence of water ingress in the light units.
In line with aggregate model data, pay close attention to the parking brake efficiency and the condition of the windscreen wipers. Additionally, inspect the rubber seals and tyres for signs of age-related cracking, which is common in vehicles with very low annual mileage.
This grey 2018 FIAT SWIFT has covered just 21,546 miles since its first registration in March 2018. The MOT history is predominantly clean, showing four passes and one failure in March 2026 due to multiple rear lighting faults. The vehicle's total mileage is significantly lower than the average for this model.
The model demonstrates a strong reliability trend with an average MOT pass rate of 91.4% across 7,529 vehicles.
