2009 Smart Fortwo Coupe 1.0L Petrol · FV58 OEL

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness remains stable, as evidenced by the consistent MOT pass on the 2025-05-08 test at 89,201 miles with no recorded defects. However, the maintenance history indicates a potential worsening trend, particularly concerning the offside rear tyres which were found to have different structures fitted across the same axle in the 2025-05-08 test. This suggests the buyer should be aware of the risk of these components failing due to improper fitment or lack of regular inspection. Regarding the mileage accumulation, the data shows a relatively clean progression from 89,201 miles on the last test date down to 68,357 miles in 2022, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation of wear. While the vehicle has been maintained for approximately 17 years, the mileage record suggests the owner may have engaged in lighter driving habits or long periods of inactivity, which could offset the wear on consumables. The absence of any defects in the 2023-11-04 and 2024-04-28 tests indicates that the vehicle has been kept in a good state of repair for the majority of its life. Given the specific faults identified in the 2025-05-08 test regarding offside rear tyres, a buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension bushings, coil springs, and brake discs for signs of binding or excessive play. Structural integrity of the chassis and exhaust emissions must also be assessed for any corrosion or leaks that could compromise the vehicle's safety. While the tyre wear is likely minor, the presence of different structures on the same axle warrants a careful examination of the wheel alignment and suspension geometry to prevent future failure.
