2010 Smart Fortwo Coupe 1.0L Petrol · EN10 AEP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend over the last three years. Following a significant MOT failure in April 2023 involving multiple mechanical faults, the car has since passed three consecutive tests with zero recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in 2023 were addressed and that the vehicle has maintained a clean record through its most recent inspection in April 2026. The mileage pattern is consistent with light usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Between the April 2023 test at 89,366 miles and the April 2026 test at 103,005 miles, the car covered 13,639 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is often beneficial for preventing the perishation of rubber components and brake seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system, as these were the primary points of failure in the past. The 2023 failure highlighted worn bushes on both front upper shock mounts and thin front brake pads. While these appear resolved, the buyer should verify the absence of play in the suspension geometry and check the remaining life on the pads. Additionally, since the seat belt mechanism previously failed, the locking mechanism of both front belts should be tested to ensure they retract and lock instantly without hesitation.
