2013 Smart Fortwo Iceshine Edition MHD A 1.0L Petrol · EJ13 DZB

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in the September 2025 test at 60,600 miles. This result indicates an improving trend in maintenance after a period of significant concern in late 2024. While the 2024 record flagged multiple failures across the braking and exhaust systems, the absence of defects in the most recent inspection suggests that the owner addressed the identified mechanical issues and brought the car back to standard. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 60,600 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,600 miles. The usage pattern appears consistent over the last several years, for example, only 1,060 miles accumulated between November 2024 and September 2025. This low-mileage profile suggests the vehicle has seen light use, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals if the car sits stationary for extended periods between tests. Anyone conducting a physical inspection should focus heavily on the braking system and the underbody. The 2024 failure specifically noted a corroded offside rear brake pipe covered in grease, which often indicates an attempt to hide a leak or significant rust. While the car passed since, a thorough inspection must verify that the pipe was replaced rather than merely cleaned and that corrosion has not spread to other brake lines or mounting points. The exhaust system was also flagged for corrosion in 2024. Recurring issues with tyre wear reaching the legal limit, noted in 2019, 2021, and 2024, suggest a history of reactive maintenance where consumables are only replaced upon inspection failure. The buyer should check the current tread depth and inspect all four tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Additionally, the windscreen damage noted in 2017 and 2024 should be checked for new cracks to ensure the structural integrity of the glass remains uncompromised.
