2005 Smart Roadster 80 Auto(rhd) 0.7L Petrol · LC05 HPV

The 2005 SMART ROADSTER 80 AUTO(RHD) holds a stable roadworthiness record, passing its most recent MOT on 24 June 2026 at 3,536 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend remains consistent, with the tester recording only a single failure in the entire history on 11 June 2024 at 3,348 miles, citing ineffective windscreen wiper operation on both the nearside and offside. The previous owner rectified this minor consumable fault on the same day, and the vehicle passed the retest immediately. The odometer reflects exceptionally low usage for a 21-year-old vehicle, accumulating just 3,536 miles, which equates to approximately 168 miles per year. The record shows a significant mileage jump between March 2022 and June 2023, with the odometer advancing from 2,544 miles to 3,243 miles in that twelve-month window, suggesting a period of more regular driving. Since June 2023, the vehicle has added only 293 miles over three years, indicating a return to minimal use and long periods of standing. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of long-term storage degradation rather than mileage-based wear. The tester has never flagged corrosion, suspension defects, or brake issues across thirteen tests, but low annual mileage increases the risk of seized calipers, perished rubber bushes, and cracked tyre sidewalls. The single wiper failure confirms that rubber components require periodic replacement regardless of mileage. The buyer should verify that the brake discs and pads have not corroded from inactivity and that the suspension bushes remain pliable.
