2016 Smart (mcc) Fortwo 0.9L Petrol · LL66 KDX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a minor decline in preventative maintenance. While it passed the MOT on 1 June 2026 at 65,654 miles, it had failed just days prior due to several easily rectifiable issues. The appearance of light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber suggests the suspension components are beginning to age, marking a shift from the clean records seen in the vehicle's 2024 and 2025 tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage between tests, such as 4,230 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 5,164 miles in the 15 months leading up to the 2026 test. This regular usage suggests the car has not been left stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber seals and mechanical components in the Smart's braking system. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside rear shock absorber to determine if the misting has progressed to a significant leak requiring replacement. The 2022 record noted a pitted front brake disc and uneven tyre wear on the inside edge, so the current state of the brakes and alignment must be verified to ensure these issues have not returned. Given the 2026 failure for insufficient washer fluid and an inoperative plate lamp, the buyer should confirm these minor items were actually addressed following the re-test.
