2016 Smart Forfour 1.0L Petrol · HS16 MYY

The vehicle is in a good roadworthy condition, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2025 passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all essential safety and environmental standards. This follows a period of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that prevents immediate mechanical failure or structural deterioration. The mileage profile is significantly low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,850 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between July 2023 and December 2024, where the car covered over 17,000 miles in a short period, followed by a more conservative pace leading into the final test. While the low overall mileage generally implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or fluid-related issues if the vehicle was not driven regularly. An in-person inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage use. Although the only recorded failure in 2023 was related to an ineffective nearside windscreen wiper, which was rectified before the subsequent pass, the buyer should still verify the condition of the wiper blades and motor function. Given the low mileage, it is vital to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and the tyres for age cracking or flat spotting, as these often age faster than they wear down on cars that are driven infrequently.
