2004 Smart Roadster Coupe 80 Auto(rhd) 0.7L Petrol · AE04 ENR

The 2004 Smart Roadster Coupe 80 Auto presents as roadworthy on the strength of its most recent test. The May 2023 examination at 139,771 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history is stable with no escalating faults. Prior tests in March 2022 at 138,708 miles and June 2021 at 137,276 miles also passed cleanly, indicating the vehicle was presented in acceptable condition each time. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,353 miles per year against the car's 22-year life, with the record showing 139,771 miles at the last test. The gap between the June 2021 pass and the March 2022 pass covers only 1,432 miles, while the two 2021 entries sit two days apart at 137,183 and 137,276 miles, the first a fail with no defects logged before the immediate retest pass. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglect but offers no deep insight into consumable or structural condition. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the lack of advisory data in the MOT record. The Smart's semi-monocoque structure is prone to corrosion at sills and floorpan; testers recorded no such defects, yet 22 years of age warrants a physical check of structural integrity. The June 2021 fail with no defects noted suggests an administrative or emissions measurement issue rather than a mechanical fault, resolved within 48 hours. Verify the automatic transmission shifts cleanly and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits, as the roadster's older petrol unit can degrade quietly without MOT flags.
