AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2016 Smart Fortwo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 July 2025 at 22,474 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage has remained consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 18,110 miles at the 14 July 2021 test, rising to 19,284 by 25 July 2022, 20,565 by 20 July 2023, 21,582 by 10 July 2024, and 22,474 by 16 July 2025. That equates to roughly 1,000 miles added each year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The sparse, fault-free history suggests the car saw light use and regular yearly testing rather than deferred maintenance. No advisories or defects appear in any test, so the MOT data alone flags no recurring wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of underbody condition and brake calipers, as standing periods between low-mileage runs can hide seized components or surface rust not caught in a pass result. Given the clean record and gentle mileage, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current. Verify service history and check tyre sidewall age, since long stationary spells degrade rubber regardless of tread depth.
