2022 Smart EQ Forfour Premium Electric · PF71 AEO

The vehicle’s MOT history presents a clean and stable record, with the most recent test on 19 January 2026 at 36,311 miles passing without any defects. This follows two earlier tests in January 2025—one pass and one fail—both at mileages of 34,145 and 34,302 miles, also with no recorded faults. The absence of advisories or defects across these tests suggests the EQ Forfour has been well-maintained in critical areas, with no signs of recurring mechanical or structural issues. The January 2025 fail appears to be an administrative error, as no defects were logged, reinforcing the likelihood of a consistently reliable vehicle in its core systems. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging around 9,078 miles per year. The gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests—approximately 2,000 miles over six months—indicates either seasonal use or a period of lower activity, though this is not unusual for an urban or commuter-focused vehicle. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern; the steady progression without sudden spikes or drops suggests the car has not been subjected to aggressive driving or prolonged neglect. Given the lack of defects, a prospective buyer should still verify a few key areas in person. The electric powertrain’s cooling system and battery health—critical for EVs—should be checked for any advisories or unusual wear, though the MOT record provides no indication of issues. Suspension components, such as coil springs and bushings, should be inspected for wear, particularly if the vehicle has been driven on rough roads. While the MOT history is clean, brake condition remains a priority; even without recorded faults, binding calipers or uneven disc wear could develop over time. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and underbody, should also be scrutinised for early signs of corrosion, given the EQ Forfour’s compact design and potential exposure to road salt or moisture. Tyre condition and tread depth should be confirmed, as these are consumables not always caught in MOT tests unless critically worn.
