2013 Smart Fortwo Passion MHD Auto 1.0L Petrol · LL13 AAV

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test passed on 3 July 2025 at 39,423 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination either passing or failing on administrative grounds rather than mechanical fault. The July 2025 failure on 2 July at identical mileage and the June 2023 failure on 26 June at 34,823 miles both show no defects logged, indicating presentation or documentation issues rather than deterioration in suspension, brakes, or emissions. Recorded mileage sits at 39,423 against a 2013 build, an average of roughly 3,033 miles per year. The odometer moved only 2,600 miles between the June 2023 test and July 2024, then 2,775 miles to July 2025. Such low annual use over thirteen years suggests extended standing periods, which commonly accelerates perishing of rubber suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and brake caliper seizing through inactivity rather than friction wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the Fortwo's front lower suspension arms and rear coil springs, as Smart city cars of this generation suffer bush degradation and spring fracture under low-use corrosion cycles. The brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for binding or pitting caused by the car sitting unused between its annual tests. Although the DVSA record is clean of advisories, the two zero-defect failures imply the vehicle was presented without required paperwork or minor consumable items rather than failing on structural integrity. Verify the V5C, confirm no outstanding manufacturer recalls on the MHD mild-hybrid system, and road-test for automatic gearbox hesitation before purchase.
