2016 Smart Fortwo 1.0L Petrol · EY66 BZK

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 November 2025 at 87,182 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement following a period of neglect regarding consumable wear. While the car suffered from recurring failures in previous years, the clean sheet from the latest test indicates that the current owner has addressed outstanding issues and maintained basic operational standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 16,806 miles between September 2022 and September 2023, followed by a more steady accumulation of 7,256 miles in the following year and 6,845 miles in the final interval. This suggests regular annual use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the vehicle's seals and mechanical components, despite the intermittent nature of the tyre-related failures. A buyer should focus physical inspection on the suspension and alignment, as the history reveals a persistent issue with tyre management. The 2023 and 2024 tests repeatedly flagged worn-edge tyres and perished rubber, which often points to incorrect alignment, worn suspension bushes, or neglected pressures. Given the age of the Smart, a thorough check of the coil springs and shock absorbers is also necessary to ensure that the uneven tyre wear has not caused secondary structural damage to the drivetrain assembly.
