Our Verdict

This 2006 SMART Roadster 80 Auto presents a mixed proposition. While it has passed recent MOTs, recurring mechanical issues and high mileage for its age warrant caution. A thorough pre-purchase inspection is essential.

Prioritize checking the condition of engine and gearbox mounts, which have failed in previous MOTs. Insist on a full service history to verify repairs. Be prepared to negotiate based on the 95k mileage and recurring mechanical concerns. Look for evidence of rust or bodywork damage, as SMART Roadsters are prone to corrosion in UK conditions.
