2011 Smart Fortwo Passion CDI 54 A 0.8L Diesel · KP60 OCU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent clean record following a single historical failure. The most recent test conducted on 29 May 2025 at 78,672 miles resulted in no defects recorded, maintaining a trend of three consecutive clean passes over the last three years. This indicates that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a standard that meets the minimum safety and environmental requirements of the DVSA without intervention. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,245 miles per year. Between the June 2022 and May 2025 tests, the car covered only 3,235 miles, suggesting very light usage or that the vehicle sat stationary for of that three-year period. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests and the potential for periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid chemistry regardless of the distance travelled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect and age. Although the MOT history shows no advisories for suspension bushes or brake calipers, the tester should check for perished rubber hoses and cracked tyre sidewalls due to low use. Given the age of the Smart, a thorough check of the structural integrity for corrosion on the chassis and mounting points is essential, as the MOT record does not rule out emerging surface rust. The failure in June 2022 was rectified immediately, but the subsequent lack of advisories suggests the mechanical state is currently well-managed.
