2017 Smart (mcc) Forfour 1.0L Petrol · BV17 AAU

The 2017 Smart ForFour presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 15,924 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Every annual examination from 2022 through 2026 returned a pass with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has not developed any worsening mechanical or structural faults across the recorded period. Mileage accumulation has been consistently low for a nine-year-old vehicle. The records show 9,695 miles at the 7 March 2022 test, rising to 10,911 by 15 February 2023, 12,007 by 26 February 2024, 13,573 by 5 March 2025, and 15,924 by February 2026. That equates to roughly 1,500 to 1,900 miles per year with no gaps or sudden jumps. Such light use suggests prolonged standing periods are likely, though the clean test history gives no evidence of neglect in statutory inspections. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Low mileage combined with infrequent use can allow brake calipers to seize, tyres to degrade through age rather than wear, and suspension bushes to harden or crack without showing in an MOT. The DVSA record flags none of these, but the absence of advisories on a car tested only once yearly leaves intermittent faults undetected. Given the pristine MOT trail, previous owners appear to have maintained statutory compliance if not high-frequency use. Prospective buyers should verify underbody corrosion, check brake disc condition for age-related pitting, and confirm fluid intervals, as the MOT data alone cannot evidence service history beyond pass results.
