2013 Smart Fortwo Pulse CDI Auto 0.8L Diesel · RO13 VUJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a currently clean MOT record. The most recent inspection on 6 November 2025 at 56,603 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and environmental standards. Following a single failure in November 2022, the vehicle has passed three consecutive tests without any advisories, suggesting that the previous owners have addressed immediate issues and maintained the car to good standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,354 miles per year. Data shows a consistent but infrequent usage, such as the 7,258 miles driven between October 2021 and November 2022 tests, and the 4,489 miles recorded between the October 2023 and November 2025 tests. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or the settling of fluids if the vehicle sat stationary regularly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related failure despite low mileage. Despite the clean history, the tester should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these can become brittle over time regardless of distance travelled. Given the low usage, the brakes should be checked for seized calipers or rusted discs, which often occur when vehicles are not used frequently. While the record shows no structural issues in the past, an inspection of the chassis for surface corrosion remains necessary to ensure the structural integrity remains sound.
