2016 Smart (mcc) Fortwo 0.9L Petrol · DC16 VRN

The Smart ForTwo presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 15 July 2025 at 17,601 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the five-year MOT span, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The only anomaly is the failure logged on 14 July 2025 at the identical 17,601 miles, one day before the pass, yet the record lists no defects for that failure, suggesting an administrative or documentation error rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits at 17,601 miles against a 2016 build, averaging roughly 1,760 miles per year. The owner added just 1,863 miles between the July 2022 test at 11,744 miles and July 2023 at 13,324 miles, then 2,414 miles to July 2024 at 15,738 miles, and 1,863 miles to the 2025 pass. Such low annual use over ten years implies long standing periods, which can degrade tyres, seals, and brake calipers through inactivity rather than wear. The clean record gives no evidence of skipped consumable upkeep or recurring faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on components the MOT cannot capture in a clean history. Standing time raises risk of flat-spotted tyres, perished rubber bushes, and lightly corroded brake discs from moisture. The tester flagged no structural integrity issues, but check sills and subframes for hidden rust and confirm the rear calipers are not binding after the car's dormant spells. Given the sparse, defect-free ledger, previous owners appear to have stored the car well and met test requirements without neglect. The 2025 same-mileage fail-pass pair warrants a V5C and DVSA query to confirm no omitted defect, but on the data supplied the Fortwo is a sound, low-worn city car.
