2016 Smart (mcc) Forfour 0.9L Petrol · KV65 LCO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 31 July 2025 with 74,715 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a technical failure just two days prior to that test. At 74,707 miles, the tester flagged an exhaust lambda reading outside of specified limits. The fact that the vehicle passed immediately upon retest suggests the issue was either addressed or was a transient anomaly rather than representing a persistent mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-use urban driving, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test at 62,218 miles and the December 2024 test at 69,659 miles, the car covered 7,441 miles. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is beneficial for maintaining seals and brake components. The recent gap of 5,056 miles between December 2024 and July 2025 shows the vehicle remains on its schedule. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear suspension and alignment, as the December 2023 record at 62,218 miles noted rear tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This often points to incorrect geometry or worn suspension bushes. Given the lambda failure in mid-2025, a diagnostic check of the exhaust system and oxygen sensors is advisable to ensure the engine continues to operate efficiently. There are no recorded structural corrosion issues or binding caliper advisories in the history, suggesting the chassis remains well-preserved for its age.
