SMART FORFOUR2016 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, showing a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. Following the most recent test in September 2025 at 62,669 miles, the car passed with no defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The transition from a failure in 2023 to consecutive clean passes suggests that the current owner is taking proactive steps to rectify safety-critical items. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between April 2024 at 54,656 miles and March 2025 at 62,380 miles, representing nearly 8,000 miles in under a year. However, the intervals between MOT tests remain regular, suggesting the car is not left stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake fluid seals. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the 2023 failure specifically highlighted an excessively worn offside suspension arm ball joint. While the 2024 test flagged worn brake discs on both front wheels and a minor exhaust leak, the subsequent clean records suggest these parts were likely replaced. It remains prudent to verify the exhaust manifold for signs of leaks and to check the remaining life on the tyres, given the history shows recurring advisories for the nearside rear tyre across multiple years.
