Our Verdict
This is a solid option for a compact city car, provided the mechanical service history matches the clean MOT record. The recent history shows a consistent pass rate without recorded defects.
When inspecting this 698cc petrol model, your primary focus should be on the service history, as the MOT records only confirm legal compliance rather than mechanical upkeep. Ensure that oil changes and cooling system checks have been performed regularly, as small engines can be sensitive to maintenance gaps.
Since this is a Cabriolet, pay close attention to the operation of the roof mechanism and check for any signs of water ingress or seal degradation. Although the MOT history shows no recent defects, a physical inspection of the soft top and its locking mechanism is essential before committing to the purchase.
Running this SMART is generally inexpensive due to the small 698cc engine, which typically falls into a lower insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy is generally efficient for urban driving, though performance is limited by the engine size.
Maintenance costs for parts are often manageable, but specialist knowledge can sometimes be required for SMART-specific components. You should budget for regular small-car maintenance, including tyres and brakes, which are subject to frequent use in city environments.
Based on the provided MOT history, there have been no recorded failures for items like brakes, tyres, or lighting in the last three years. However, you should manually inspect these components to ensure they meet your personal standards.
Specifically for this 2006 model, check the condition of the suspension components and the exhaust system, as these are common areas for wear in older small cars. Given the lack of recorded defects in the 2025 MOT at 77,523 miles, the vehicle appears to have been kept in a roadworthy state recently, but a thorough check of the engine bay for leaks is always recommended.
This 2006 SMART CABRIOLET in silver has covered 77,523 miles since its first registration in June 2006. The MOT history for the last three years is notable for having no recorded defects or advisories across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests. While the mileage is consistent with its age, the lack of recorded MOT failures suggests a period of recent compliance.
There is no aggregate MOT data available to provide a specific reliability reputation for the SMART CABRIOLET.
