2008 Smart Fortwo Passion 84 Auto 1.0L Petrol · CKZ 7744

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 17 February 2026 at 59,730 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with clean passes from 7 September 2023 through to the latest examination and only a single anomalous failure earlier. That failure on 29 July 2022 at 54,966 miles listed no defects, and the car passed the very next day at 54,978 miles, indicating a minor administrative or non-mechanical hitch rather than a worsening condition. Mileage pattern relative to age shows exceptionally low use for an 18-year-old car. The odometer advanced just 4,764 miles between the July 2022 test and the February 2026 test, averaging roughly 1,200 miles per year across that span. Earlier, the vehicle recorded 54,966 miles by late July 2022, implying the bulk of its life saw light motoring. Such low annual accumulation suggests prolonged standing periods, which can allow rubber suspension bushes to perish and brake calipers to seize despite minimal wear to consumables like tyres or wiper blades. The record itself is sparse but clean, with no advisories logged on any test. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension arms and front coil springs for corrosion and cracking, as testers logged no such defects but age invites hidden perish. The history shows no binding calipers or worn brake discs, yet low mileage allows hydraulic seals to harden and calipers to stick through inactivity. Check the exhaust for internal rot and verify emissions on the 2008 petrol unit remain compliant with limits. Previous owners kept statutory compliance, with no mechanical defect causing a failure across the ledger. The swift remedy of the July 2022 anomaly suggests attentive if infrequent care. Given the clean record, a physical survey must target structural integrity beneath sill trims and assess tyres that may have aged beyond elastic limits despite legal tread.
