SMART ROADSTER2004 · 0.7L PETROL

The overall roadworthiness status for this 2004 SMART ROADSTER is non-roadworthy for the current date of 2026, with a clear deterioration trend from a passing test in 2013 to a failure in 2015. The vehicle has not demonstrated the consistent maintenance required to prevent future breakdowns. The mileage pattern reveals a distinct gap between the test record and the current date, with the most recent test occurring 11 months prior to the present. This creates a significant risk of accelerated wear on critical components, particularly the suspension and brakes, which have not been addressed in the last decade. The 2013 test at 50,301 miles was the only time the vehicle was tested within the last 12 months, suggesting that the accumulated wear since then has not been mitigated. Given the recurring faults, particularly the failure of the windscreen wiper, the offside rear brake pipe, and the cracked/perished tyres, the vehicle requires immediate and thorough inspection of the suspension bushings, coil springs, and brake discs. The buyer must verify that the brakes are still functional and that the suspension components are not showing signs of binding or excessive wear, as these are the most likely causes of the current failure modes.
