2017 Smart (mcc) Forfour 0.9L Petrol · DA67 KLS

The most recent MOT from January 2026 was a pass, but it identified a worn nearside front suspension arm pin or bush. While the inspector noted this did not result in excessive movement at the time, it represents the first recorded issue with the vehicle's mechanical components in several years. The condition trend suggests the vehicle is transitioning from simple maintenance neglect to mechanical component wear. The history from 2023 and 2024 shows a pattern of neglected consumables, specifically regarding tyre tread and various light bulbs, which led to a failure in early 2024. Although the 2025 MOT was completely clean, the recent suspension advisory indicates that the car is now entering a stage where more significant wear and tear on the chassis and suspension is becoming evident. With 98,841 miles recorded over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 11,000 miles per year. This is typical for its age and suggests regular, standard usage rather than extreme high-mileage wear or long periods of inactivity. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension, specifically checking for any knocks, vibrations, or play in the suspension arms and bushes. You should also check the current tread depth and condition of all four tyres to ensure they are not nearing the legal limit, given the previous history of tyre-related issues.
