2017 Smart Forfour 1.0L Petrol · AF11 PAY

The 2017 Smart ForFour presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 November 2025 at 47,348 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 15 October 2024 at 40,104 miles also showed a clean sheet. The vehicle has carried no live advisories across its recent history, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns. Recorded mileage sits at 47,348 against roughly nine years of age, equating to about 5,261 miles per year and confirming light use. The gap between the 19 August 2021 test at 35,769 miles and the 25 November 2022 pass at 39,063 miles covers just over 3,200 miles, while the 23 September 2022 failure at 39,022 miles preceded that pass by two months with no defects listed. Low annual accumulation and a clean record suggest the car spent extended periods stationary rather than enduring high-cycle wear on drivetrain or suspension components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low mileage and likely storage periods, as standing vehicles develop perished rubbers and surface corrosion unseen in a pass result. The September 2022 failure with no defects recorded points to an administrative or emissions-readiness issue rather than a hard mechanical fault, but the tester should confirm no outstanding calibration or sensor faults remain. Given the absence of recurring advisories on tyres, exhaust, or structural integrity, previous ownership appears to have maintained basic upkeep. Verify underbody condition for rust and check tyre sidewalls for cracking before purchase, as low-use cars often hide age-related degradation that a clean MOT will not capture.
