2014 Smart (mcc) Fortwo 1.0L Petrol · AR10 OFR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward age-related degradation despite low usage. The most recent test in September 2025 at 27,489 miles passed the vehicle but flagged a minor exhaust leak and perishing rubber on both rear tyres. While the car passed, the appearance of exhaust leaks and tyre structural issues indicates that rubber and metal components are beginning to fail due to time and stationary periods rather than mileage-related wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,300 miles per year. There is a significant two-year gap between the August 2021 test at 22,561 miles and the February 2023 test at 24,347 miles, during which the car covered only 1,886 miles. This infrequent usage pattern often leads to dry rot in tyres, which explains the recurring issues with tyre cuts and structural perishing noted in the 2023 and 2025 records. A buyer must inspect the exhaust system thoroughly to address the minor leak identified in 2025, as these can worsen through corrosion at the manifold or hangers. The recurring history of tyre structural damage across multiple years suggests the vehicle may be driven in tight environments or that the rubber is reaching its end of life regardless of tread depth. Given the low mileage, check the brake calipers and suspension bushings for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often seize or develop surface rust when left stationary for long periods.
