2010 Smart (mcc) Fortwo Coupe 0.7L Petrol · RO60 EBD

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status with an improving maintenance trend following a period of mechanical instability. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 58,668 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the critical defects identified in previous years have been addressed. While the history shows a pattern of reactive repairs, the recent consecutive passes suggest the car is currently being maintained to a functional standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,667 miles per year. Data shows a significant slowdown in usage recently, with only 400 miles recorded between the November 2023 and November 2024 tests, and another 444 miles covered between November 2024 and September 2025. This low-frequency use often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components and seals due to inactivity, rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension assembly, as the record reveals recurring failures in this area. The November 2023 failure flagged excessively worn suspension arm bushes on both sides, followed shortly later by a fractured nearside coil spring and uneven tyre wear in November 2024. These faults suggest potential alignment issues or undue stress on the front-end components. The engine mounting should also be checked for signs of further cracking or tearing, as testers noted perished material in late 2023 that required monitoring.
