2005 Smart Roadster 80 Auto(rhd) 0.7L Petrol · RF05 LTU

In the March 2026 test at 89,001 miles the SMART ROADSTER recorded a PASS with no defects. The vehicle’s MOT history shows five consecutive passes from November 2021 through March 2026, indicating a stable maintenance trend and consistent roadworthiness. No failures or advisories have accumulated, suggesting the previous owner maintained basic service intervals without major interventions. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 21‑year‑old car. Between November 2021 (69,947 miles) and December 2022 (72,882 miles) the odometer rose 2,935 miles in roughly 13 months. A larger increase of 7,572 miles occurred between December 2022 and December 2023, after which the annual gains slowed to 2,443 miles in 2024‑2025 and 6,104 miles in the most recent year. The average of about 4,238 miles per year is well below typical wear rates, and the gaps show occasional higher usage but overall modest accumulation. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and mounts for cracking or excessive wear, examine brake discs and pads for uneven wear or corrosion, and check the exhaust for rust or leaks. Tyre tread depth and pressure should be verified, as low mileage does not guarantee good tyre condition. A visual scan for structural rust around sills and underbody, a test of steering play, and an assessment of battery terminals for corrosion will confirm whether the low‑mileage history has preserved critical components or masked hidden deterioration.
