2017 Smart (mcc) Fortwo 1.0L Petrol · GV66 AFF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2026-02-09 at 12,953 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This pattern of consecutive passes—spanning five tests from February 2022 to February 2026—indicates a stable maintenance history with no recurring issues. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the tester did not identify any hidden concerns, though this does not preclude wear that hasn’t yet reached MOT thresholds. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions and structural checks at each interval is noteworthy, though the low mileage raises questions about component longevity that cannot be confirmed without further inspection. The recorded mileage of 12,953 miles over nine years—approximately 1,439 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The incremental increases between tests (e.g., 1,646 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests) suggest minimal use, which could imply storage or limited driving. There are no gaps exceeding the 12-month MOT interval, and the steady progression of mileage points to consistent, albeit light, operation. While low mileage typically correlates with reduced wear, the lack of service records means critical intervals—such as suspension alignment, brake fluid changes, or steering fluid refresh—cannot be verified. Given the absence of MOT-reported faults, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear items that exceed typical MOT thresholds. The suspension system, particularly coil springs and bushes, warrants close examination given the vehicle’s age and potential for fatigue, even at low mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as binding or glazing often develops gradually without MOT detection. Tyres, despite no tread advisories, may have hidden damage or uneven wear from prolonged storage. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be scrutinised for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from moisture retention and rust progression over time.
