2008 Smart (mcc) Fortwo Coupe 0.7L Petrol · FT57 AEW

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-02 at 110,898 miles confirmed it met roadworthiness standards with no defects recorded. Subsequent tests from 2025-03-03 to 2023-04-01 also passed, with no issues noted. The 2023-04-01 entry shows a failed test at the same mileage, though no defects were recorded, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor non-compliance resolved before retesting. Overall, the maintenance trend indicates stability, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged in the official records. The vehicle’s mileage of 110,898 miles at 18 years old aligns with an average of 6,161 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. MOT tests are spaced consistently, with intervals of 11–12 months between 2023 and 2026. A gap of 10,011 miles between the 2023-04-01 and 2024-04-19 tests suggests potential periods of reduced activity, which could affect components like tyres or battery health. However, the absence of defects in all recorded tests implies no significant wear or corrosion was detected during inspections. While no specific faults were recorded, the 2023-04-01 failure—despite no defects listed—warrants scrutiny. A qualified technician should verify the vehicle’s suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for hidden wear, as these components often degrade gradually. Corrosion checks, particularly around the chassis and exhaust system, are advisable given the car’s age. Buyers should also confirm the history of the failed test and ensure all repairs were completed to prevent unresolved issues. The MOT record lacks details on consumables like wiper blades or tyre tread, so visual inspection of these is recommended.
