2006 Smart Roadster 80 Auto(rhd) 0.7L Petrol · LS06 GYU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 6 December 2023 at 93,348 miles with no defects recorded. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2022 and 2023, the vehicle consistently meets minimum standards after minor remedial adjustments. This suggests that the previous owner was proactive in addressing faults once identified rather than allowing the vehicle to fall into legal standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,667 miles per year. The data shows consistent intervals of use, such as the 4,779 miles covered between October 2021 and October 2022, and the 7,402 miles between October 2022 and December 2023. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of rubber-part degradation, brake corrosion, and fluid breakdown during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as older vehicles are prone to corrosion that may not always manifest as a failure immediately. Given the low mileage, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perished rubber, which occurs due to age rather than distance travelled. The clean records from the most recent tests indicate no major mechanical failures, but the brake discs and calipers should still be checked for pitting or seizing caused by the low usage pattern.
