2017 Smart (mcc) Fortwo 0.9L Petrol · DE57 AHS

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 20 January 2026 at 42,176 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to November 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a nine year old car, averaging roughly 4,686 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between November 2022 and November 2023, where the odometer climbed from 23,274 to 32,249 miles. Since then, the accumulation has slowed, with 4,310 miles added between January 2025 and January 2026. This low overall usage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. The record shows a failure on 22 November 2022, though the vehicle passed on the same day. Because the tester recorded no specific defects for either the failure or the subsequent pass, the cause of the initial rejection remains undocumented. This lack of detail is unusual but does not suggest a systemic mechanical issue given the subsequent clean records. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, flat spots on tyres, or seized brake calipers. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and inspect the suspension bushes for cracking. Given the absence of any recorded advisories regarding structural integrity or corrosion, the chassis should be in good condition, but a visual check of the underbody is still advised to confirm the absence of rust.
