2016 Smart (mcc) Fortwo 1.0L Petrol · EY66 AEB

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clean history of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 52,170 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just two days prior at 52,158 miles. This specific sequence suggests a minor administrative-related failure or a simple consumable issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test. Since 2022, the car has consistently passed inspections without any advisories or failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage between intervals, such as the 5,247 miles covered between December 2022 and November 2023, and another 5,472 miles in the year leading to November 2024. This low-frequency use typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to higher-mile examples. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to rubber degradation or brake-caliper seizing, though the clean MOT record indicates these issues have not yet manifested enough to compromise mechanical integrity. Because the MOT history shows no recurring faults or structural weaknesses, a physical inspection should focus on the effects of low-mileage storage. A buyer should check for flat spots on the tyres and perished sidewalls, which often occur despite high tread depth. Inspect the suspension bushes and exhaust system for signs of surface corrosion, as these Smart models are susceptible to rust over time. The lack of recorded advisories suggests a well-maintained vehicle that has remained mechanically sound.
