2018 Smart Fortwo 1.0L Petrol · YB68 ULG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to minor repairs. The most recent test on 28 October 2025 at 86,964 miles resulted in an initial failure for insufficient washer fluid and a frayed offside seat belt. While these issues were rectified for the immediate retest, the presence of these faults suggests that the owner only addresses defects when mandated by the testing process rather than performing routine preventative checks. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,870 miles per year. A significant interval of 20,596 miles occurred between November 2023 (47,776 miles) and November 2024 (68,312 miles), followed by another 18,652 miles in the year leading up to the October 2025 test. This pattern confirms regular annual use, which places predictable wear on components such as the suspension bushings, exhaust components, and the Smart braking system. A buyer should physically inspect the offside seat belt webbing to ensure the fraying hasn't compromised its structural integrity, as this was a recorded failure point in late 2025. The failure in November 2023 at 47,717 miles due to low tyre tread on both front wheels highlights a history of neglecting basic consumables until they reached legal limits. Since the record does not flag structural corrosion or brake binding issues, the focus should remain on verifying the condition of the current tyres and checking the washer system for leaks or blockages that caused the previous failure.
