Our Verdict
A dependable city car with an exceptiona
Given that this vehicle has nearly reached 100,000 miles, the most critical step is to verify a comprehensive service history. Ensure that oil changes and major intervals have been adhered to, as high-mileage small-capacity engines require strict maintenance to remain efficient.
You should use the above-average mileage as a point of negotiation, as most Fortwo buyers seek low-mileage city cars. Check for any evidence of recent work to the exhaust or suspension, which can be wear-and-tear points for this model at this age.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for economical urban commuting, which should keep fuel costs low. Tax and insurance for the Fortwo are generally competitive, though you should check the specific insurance group for this 2015 variant.
Maintenance costs are typically low, but as the car surpasses 100,000 miles, you should budget for potential wear-and-tear items. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, is relatively modest.
Start by inspecting the windscreen and front registration plate, as both were flagged as deteriorated or damaged in the March 2024 and June 2023 MOT tests. Ensure these have been rectified or that the damage is still within legal limits.
Referencing model aggregate data, pay close attention to the tyres, headlamps, and exhaust system, as these are the most frequent causes of failure for the Fortwo. Check for any leaks or excessive corrosion on the exhaust and ensure the tyre tread is consistent across both axles.
This silver 2015 Smart Fortwo has covered 99,013 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 4,301 miles per year. Despite the high usage, the vehicle has passed its last five MOT tests without a single failure. Recent records from 2023 and 2024 only noted minor advisories regarding the registration plate and windscreen.
The Smart Fortwo has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 86.3%, with common failures typically linked to tyres, headlamps, and exhausts.
