2010 Smart Fortwo Passion 84 Auto 1.0L Petrol · EN10 AEL

The vehicle presents in a stable roadworthiness condition, following a clean MOT pass on May 18, 2026 at 113,193 miles. This represents an improving trend in maintenance standards, as the car has gone without recorded defects for the three recent annual tests. The absence of advisories in the latest record suggests that the previous owner has proactively addressed mechanical wear and prevented issues from escalating into failure points. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2026, the car covered 24,700 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage rate rather than periods of stagnation or sudden heavy accumulation. This consistent interval typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the age of the vehicle means that some rubber components and seals may be subject to perish regardless of the relatively low mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas previously flagged during the April 2023 test at 94,223 miles. The tester identified play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and corrosion on the offside rear brake pipe. While the vehicle passed in subsequent tests, a manual check is necessary to ensure the brake pipe corrosion has not progressed into structural degradation and that the suspension linkage remains tight. Given the Smart's specific architecture, checking the chassis for surface rust around the rear mounting points remains a vital step beyond the MOT data.
