SMART (MCC) FORFOUR2016 · 1.0L Petrol

The 2016 Smart ForFour presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 1 November 2025 at 71,569 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to that, the 5 November 2024 examination at 60,960 miles passed with a clean sheet, though the same date carries an anomalous failed entry showing no defects recorded, a likely administrative duplication rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five-year span from 9 November 2022 to the latest test, every examination returned a pass with zero advisories, indicating consistent upkeep and no emerging wear trends. The odometer climbed from 43,046 miles at the 2022 test to 50,444 by 31 October 2023, then 60,960 by November 2024, reaching 71,569 by November 2025. That averages roughly 7,150 miles annually, typical for a ten-year-old vehicle and suggesting gentle use rather than sustained motorway load. No abrupt accumulation or standing gaps appear in the record; the sparse but clean history offers little evidence of neglected intervals, though the absence of advisories means minor consumable wear was either absent or cleared before each test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness, as MOT passes with no advisories do not certify component life remaining beyond the test day. The 2024 duplicate failure with no defects warrants a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed fault exists. Given the low yearly mileage, scrutinise tyres for sidewall cracking from age and check underneath for corrosion on structural members, since light use can mask moisture-related degradation that a pass certificate will not highlight.
