2017 Smart (mcc) Forfour 0.9L Petrol · KE17 ADX

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 20 December 2025 at 52,103 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is low for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,789 miles per year. Between December 2022 and December 2023, the car covered 6,067 miles, while the period between December 2023 and December 2024 saw a slight increase to 6,613 miles. The most recent interval from December 2024 to December 2025 shows a significant drop in usage, with only 2,124 miles added. This suggests the vehicle may have spent longer periods stationary recently. A strange anomaly appears in December 2024, where the car failed a test on 7 December at 49,814 miles but passed a week later on 14 December at 49,979 miles. The record lists no specific defects for either event, which is atypical for a failure. This suggests a possible administrative error or a minor fault that was rectified instantly. Because the MOT history is unusually clean and lacks any advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion, the records provide little diagnostic guidance for a physical inspection. A buyer should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage, specifically checking for perished rubber seals or tyre cracking due to the low annual usage. Inspecting the brake calipers for seizing is also advisable given the recent drop in mileage.
