2021 Smart EQ Forfour Exclusive Electric · KF21 LLC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in May 2026. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, as the car achieved clean results in the previous two years. However, the most recent inspection identified a defect regarding cracking treads on both front tyres and the offside rear tyre, indicating the onset of age-related degradation despite the low overall distance driven. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,780 miles per year. Between the May 2024 test at 11,878 miles and the May 2026 test at 13,900 miles, the car covered only 2,022 miles. This low usage suggests the mechanical components have seen minimal stress from the drivetrain and suspension, but it also increases the likelihood of rubber-based components like tyres perishing due to long periods of inactivity rather than mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres, as the May 2026 advisory confirms the rubber compound is beginning to fail and crack. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from brake corrosion or surface rust on the discs due to insufficient heat cycles to clear oxidation. Ensure the brake calipers are not seizing and check that the suspension bushes have not perished, as these are common failure points for vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
