2004 Smart Fortwo Passion SP-G EDN A 0.7L Petrol · CA54 AAV

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 17 December 2025 at 71,078 miles. The maintenance trend shows a shift toward stability after a period of volatility in late 2024. While the car suffered multiple failures in December 2024, the clean sheet from the most recent 2025 test indicates that the previous owner was able to rectify identified defects to bring the mechanical and safety systems up to passing standard. The mileage profile is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,231 miles per year. The data shows a recent burst of activity, with 4,664 miles covered between December 2024 and December 2025. This low-frequency usage pattern suggests the vehicle experiences minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain components. However, long periods of inactivity between these tests can often lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake fluid contamination, which may manifest as intermittent faults rather than mechanical fatigue. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis, as early-generation Smart models are prone to corrosion in the rear sills and subframe mounting. Given the multiple failures in late 2024 that were not detailed in the provided summary, the inspector should specifically check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue. The brakes should also be examined for binding or surface pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rust seizing on the discs if they are not driven regularly.
