2006 Smart Roadster 0.7L Petrol · KS55 CVF

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 2026-05-09 with no defects recorded. The maintenance history demonstrates a stable pattern of compliance, with all preceding tests from 2023 through May 2025 also passing without advisories. There is no evidence of a worsening trend in mechanical issues; the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of upkeep since the significant suspension and tyre concerns were flagged during the 2019 inspection. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age. Between the 2019 test at 126,402 miles and the current test at 131,557 miles, the vehicle has accrued approximately 5,155 miles over seven years, averaging roughly 736 miles per year. This rate of wear is normal for a vehicle of this vintage, indicating a steady usage pattern rather than rapid accumulation or long periods of inactivity. The clean test results across multiple years confirm that routine servicing has been performed effectively. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and tyre condition. The 2019 record explicitly noted significant corrosion on all four coil springs and tyres worn close to the legal limit. While the current MOT is clean, these past issues highlight the need to inspect the suspension mounting points and chassis for any underlying structural rust or damage that may not be visible externally. Check the condition of the brake discs and calipers for signs of wear, as well as the overall condition of the exhaust system for any signs of leaks or excessive rust.
