2002 MCC Smart Passion Softouch(rhd)a 0.6L Petrol · HT02 AGV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 7 January 2026 at 105,932 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a string of clean tests dating back to 2021, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum safety standards without recurring failures or escalating issues. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,414 miles per year. The data shows very short intervals of use; for instance, only 348 miles were recorded between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests, and just 300 miles between November 2023 and January 2025. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long periods of inactivity between tests can lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, and brake system corrosion. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection focusing on issues common to low-mileage cars. Check the chassis and mounting points for corrosion, particularly around the subframes, as Smart cars are sensitive to structural rust if stored in damp environments. Examine the brake discs for pitting and seized calipers, as infrequent use often prevents the pads from cleaning the rotors effectively. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or dry rot, as these materials age based on time regardless of the distance driven.
