2013 Smart Fortwo Passion MHD Auto 1.0L Petrol · EJ13 ADV

The vehicle demonstrates a highly stable and positive maintenance trend, currently holding a valid MOT certificate until August 2026. The most recent inspection on 26 August 2025 at 80,067 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This outcome aligns with the previous two years of testing, which also yielded defect-free results. While the vehicle failed an initial test on 16 August 2024 at 72,882 miles, the record shows no specific failures or advisories were logged, suggesting a potential administrative error or a minor rectification that was resolved immediately before the successful retest six days later. The recorded mileage of 80,067 over thirteen years averages approximately 6,159 miles per annum, which is consistent with light urban use for a Smart Fortwo. The accumulation of miles remains steady, with roughly 7,500 miles added between August 2022 and August 2023, followed by a similar increase of 7,000 miles in the subsequent twelve-month period. The most recent interval between August 2025 and the present date shows minimal usage, indicating the car has seen very little road time in the last year. This consistent, moderate usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to the excessive strain often associated with high-mileage fleet use or the mechanical degradation typical of long-term storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the Smart Fortwo’s specific mechanical vulnerabilities, as the clean MOT history does not account for non-testable items. Given the vehicle's age, check the condition of the rear suspension coil springs and the integrity of the plastic body panels, which can become brittle. Inspect the engine bay for signs of oil leaks around the rocker cover and verify the operation of the automated manual gearbox, as clutch wear is a common concern for this model that may not be captured during a standard MOT. While the history suggests a well-maintained vehicle, ensure the service book confirms regular oil changes, as the mhd engine relies heavily on clean lubrication to prevent premature timing chain wear.
