2016 Smart Fortwo 1.0L Petrol · LC66 XCM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of 100, indicating it meets current UK standards, but the maintenance history reveals a clear deterioration trend. The most recent inspection occurred on 2025-11-20, resulting in a failed test for the nearside rear coolant pipe, which is a critical structural failure that must be addressed immediately. This failure occurred shortly after the vehicle was first tested, suggesting that the previous owner may have neglected routine inspections, as the same component failed again in the September 2023 test at 42,630 miles. The subsequent repairs and subsequent tests in November 2023 and November 2024 show that the issue has persisted since the initial failure, confirming a worsening trend rather than an improving one. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 5,143 miles annually, which is low for a 2016 model but consistent with its age. The test history shows a significant gap between the September 2023 inspection and the subsequent November 2024 test, where the vehicle passed despite having different aspect ratios on the rear tyres. This suggests that while the vehicle may have been driven regularly, the owner failed to perform the necessary regular maintenance checks, allowing wear on the suspension and braking components to accumulate over time without replacement. Given the recurring faults, including a failed coolant pipe and different tyres on the same axle, the buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear immediately. The failed 2025 test on the nearside rear coolant pipe indicates that the vehicle has structural integrity issues that require professional assessment before it can be safely sold or driven. The presence of different aspect ratios on the rear tyres in 2023 and 2024 suggests that the suspension bushings may be compromised, which could lead to further failure if not addressed. A thorough inspection is required to determine if the suspension, brakes, or drivetrain components are within safe limits for future use.
