2011 Smart (mcc) Fortwo Coupe 1.0L Petrol · FG61 FJO

The Smart ForTwo presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 28 January 2026 at 67,306 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing clean passes in 2025 and 2024 alongside two anomaly failures in early 2024 and January 2026 that logged no defects. These zero-defect failures suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than any mechanical fault, and the vehicle has since cleared each time without advisory work. Annual mileage sits low for a 15-year-old car, averaging roughly 4,487 miles per year against the 67,306 miles recorded. The odometer moved just 2,061 miles between the February 2024 pass at 62,953 and the February 2025 pass at 65,245, then added only 2,061 miles to the January 2026 test. Such light use over long intervals implies the car spent extended periods stationary, which commonly accelerates rubber perishing in suspension bushes, degraded brake caliper seals, and flat-spotted tyres even where the MOT shows a clean sheet. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the suspension arms and front lower bushes, as low-mileage Smarts frequently develop play in these through age rather than distance. The brake discs and calipers warrant a strip check for binding or corrosion after standing idle, despite no advisories being raised. Examine the underside and sills for structural rust, since the MOT record offers no corrosion commentary and the 2011 shell is now at an age where untreated steel begins to fail.
