2014 Smart (mcc) Fortwo 1.0L Petrol · LA54 AFS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in October 2025 at 35,544 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of minor mechanical failures followed by immediate de-rectification. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the previous history indicates a period of neglect regarding basic consumable items, specifically concerning the windscreen washer system and wiper blades. This suggests an owner who tends to address faults only when they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year over its lifespan. However, there is a significant discrepancy in the data between October 2020 and October 2021. In 2020, the car recorded 61,329 miles, but by 2021 the mileage had dropped to 23,573 miles. This regression suggests either a data entry error or an engine replacement, which calls into question the true wear level of the drivetrain components despite the low annual average. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and fluid delivery. The record shows imbalanced brakes across both axles in 2023 and 2025, which often points to sticking calipers or uneven wear due to low use. The offside rear outer brake pipe flagged for excessive corrosion in 2023 also requires a close look for further structural decay along the metal lines. Given the repeated failures of the windscreen washer pump and wipers, verify the condition of the rubber hoses and the pump motor, as these components often perish or seize when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods.
