2017 Smart Forfour 1.0L Petrol · V1 RSY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a downward trend in proactive care. While it passed its most recent test on 10 September 2025 at 60,332 miles, it failed just one day prior due to multiple safety deplets. The transition from a clean pass in October 2024 to a significant failure in September 2025 suggests that the owner is only addressing faults when necessitated by the MOT tester rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. The record shows a gap of 7,189 miles between the October 2024 test at 50,443 miles and the September 2025 test at 60,332 miles. This steady usage indicates regular operation, yet the age of rubber components, such as the perishing tyres noted in 2023, suggests the car may suffer from age-related degradation rather than distance-related wear. A buyer must focus inspection on the front braking system, as the 2025 failure flagged both thin pads and worn discs on both front sides. While these were rectified for the subsequent pass, the recurring nature of tyre issues—ranging from perishing rubber on all four corners in 2023 to exposed cords on the offside front in 2025—points to neglect of consumable items. The buyer should check the current depth of the remaining tyres and verify that the stop lamp and headaim are correctly adjusted, as these were recent points of failure.
