2014 Smart (mcc) Fortwo 1.0L Petrol · LC14 AEY

The car comes back with a clean bill of health on its most recent test. On 5 December 2025, at 43,608 miles, the Fortwo passed with no defects recorded. This is the cleanest possible result, and the pattern across all five MOT entries is stable with no failures on record that actually resulted in a failed certificate. The tester recorded no advisories on any occasion, so there is no evidence of worn bushes, binding brakes, or corrosion flagged over the last four years. The mileage pattern is the one element worth scrutiny. The car sat at around 3,600 miles per year for most of its life, with gentle accumulation from 27,349 miles in September 2022 to 32,998 miles in December 2024. That changed abruptly. Between the December 2024 test and the December 2025 test, the car covered over 10,600 miles in a single year. That is a substantial shift in usage, and the low historical mileage relative to the car's twelve-year age suggests it may have stood idle for long periods early in life before seeing heavier, sustained use recently. Since the MOT history contains no flagged faults, a buyer is not walking into a known mechanical issue. The usual age-related checks still apply in person. Over a decade in service, the rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs on a Fortwo can deteriorate gradually without yet registering as a test failure. The large mileage increase also means the brake pads and tyres fitted for the latest test should be checked for remaining depth, and a separate mileage verification is sensible so that the 43,608 mile figure is treated as genuine rather than a clerical anomaly. The recorded data itself presents no reason to walk away.
