2004 Smart Fortwo Coupe 0.7L Petrol · KX04 CDL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 August 2025 with 65,845 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently achieved passes following immediate rectifications of previous failures. While the record shows failures in both 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passes on the same day suggest that minor defects were addressed promptly rather than indicating deep mechanical neglect. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between the August 2023 test at 63,234 miles and the August 2024 test at 64,921 miles, the car covered only 1,687 miles in twelve months. This low usage suggests the vehicle likely sits for long periods, which reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain but often leads to issues such as perished rubber components, seized seals, or surface rust on braking components that are not regularly exercised. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and rear suspension mounting points, as older Smart models are prone to corrosion if left stationary. Despite the clean pass record, the low mileage necessitates a check for brake caliper seizing and pitting on the brake discs caused by lack of use. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for dry cracking, as age-related degradation often precedes mileage-related wear on vehicles with such low figures.
