2007 Smart Fortwo Coupe 0.7L Petrol · HV07 ARU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 12 May 2025 at 49,205 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of the car passing its tests without any noted mechanical or structural failures over the last three years. The mileage is exceptionally low for a nineteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,590 miles per year. Between 25 April 2023 at 44,214 miles and 12 May 2025 at 49,205 miles, the car covered only 5,000 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle has spent significant time stationary or has been used exclusively for short, local trips. The absence of recorded defects across multiple tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age, as it shows no history of common Smart Fortwo issues like suspension bush wear or corrosion. However, the low mileage increases the risk of perished rubber components and seized brake calipers. A buyer should specifically check for tyre cracking and ensure the brake discs have not pitted due to inactivity. The record shows two instances where the car failed immediately before passing, specifically on 22 May 2024 and 30 April 2025. Because the DVSA record lists no specific defects for these failures, it suggests these were likely administrative errors or very minor issues resolved instantly. A physical inspection should focus on fluid leaks and battery health, as low-mileage cars often suffer from degraded electrical systems.
