SMART FORFOUR2015 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend despite some intermittent minor failures. The most recent test on 13 August 2025 at 92,507 miles resulted in a pass with only an advisory for a deteriorated front registration plate. This follows a clean pass in August 2024, indicating that once minor issues are addressed, the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of upkeep without recurring major mechanical defects appearing in the last two years. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the car covered 10,163 miles, while it added another 10,430 miles in the year between the August 2024 and August 2025 tests. This steady accumulation suggests regular usage, which is generally beneficial for mechanical components like seals and brakes, preventing the corrosion and degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that previously indicated a lack of preventative attention. The failure in August 2023 for both offside and nearside rear tyres being below the 1.6mm limit suggests the previous owner occasionally neglected basic consumable maintenance. Similarly, the windscreen washer failure in 2024 points to minor oversight in routine checks. Given the age and the mileage of over 92,000 miles, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake system integrity is necessary, as these are common points of wear for this model at this interval.
