2021 Smart EQ Fortwo Exclusive Electric · R20 SAS

The vehicle presents an exemplary roadworthiness record across three consecutive annual MOT tests, with the most recent examination on 15 May 2026 at 20,143 miles returning a completely clean pass. Zero defects, zero advisories. The maintenance trend is stable and, by every measurable metric, improving in the sense that no deterioration has occurred between tests. For an electric city car, this level of consistency indicates diligent ownership and no hidden mechanical deterioration. Mileage accumulation tells a clear story of light urban use. Between 12 May 2025 and 15 May 2026, the car covered just 4,514 miles, following a near-identical 4,213 miles in the prior year and a slightly lower 3,734 miles before that. The annual average sits around 4,029 miles, well below typical UK usage. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows a modest uptick in use, but nothing that would accelerate wear on drivetrain or suspension components. No suspicious gaps or sudden jumps appear in the record. The absence of any flagged defects across all three tests means there are no recurring faults to scrutinise. No brake advisories, no suspension wear, no corrosion concerns, no lighting or electrical issues. For a 2021 EQ Fortwo, the battery health and charging system are the primary items a buyer should verify in person, as MOT tests on electric vehicles do not assess battery degradation. Inspect the high-voltage battery state of charge and charging rate, check the condition of the 12-volt auxiliary battery, and examine the charging port for any signs of damage or water ingress. Beyond the powertrain, a physical inspection should focus on tyre condition and age, given the low annual mileage that can lead to perishing before tread wears out. Check the sidewalls for cracking, verify tread depth meets the 1.6mm minimum, and confirm the date codes are consistent with the vehicle's age. Inspect the underside for any corrosion on subframes or mounting points, and test the regenerative and friction braking systems for smooth operation. The cabin heating element and air conditioning, where fitted, should also be function-tested, as these are common failure points on low-mileage electric vehicles that see infrequent use.
