2005 Smart City Passion 61 Auto 0.7L Petrol · KC05 BSY

The MOT history for this 2005 Smart City Passion shows a clean record with no defects or advisories across all five tests from February 2019 to July 2022. This suggests the vehicle was maintained to a reasonable standard during that period. However, the most recent test is now nearly four years old, meaning the current roadworthiness is unverified. The trend appears stable based on past data, but the absence of any recent inspection introduces uncertainty about the car's present condition. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old car, averaging only 853 miles per year. The odometer rose from 12,505 miles in February 2019 to 17,905 miles in July 2022, a gain of about 5,400 miles over three and a half years. This pattern indicates occasional, light use rather than daily driving. Such low mileage can reduce wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, but it also raises the risk of deterioration from long periods of standing, such as perished rubber seals, seized calipers, or stale fluids. A buyer should arrange a fresh MOT test before purchase to confirm the vehicle's current state. Pay particular attention to the braking system, as binding calipers and corroded discs are common on cars that sit unused. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or sagging, and check the exhaust for rust holes. The battery may be weak from infrequent charging, and tyres could be aged beyond their safe lifespan even if tread depth appears adequate. A thorough mechanical inspection by a qualified technician is strongly recommended.
