2015 Smart Fortwo 0.9L Petrol · S222 TUB

The 2015 Smart Fortwo presents a broadly stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 2026-06-01 at 88,753 miles resulting in a clean pass. The tester noted undertrays obscuring the view of the underside, brake lines, and fuel lines, which is a common fitment on this model but does confirm the structural underside could not be fully assessed at the time of test. Comparing this to the 2025-06-18 test at 81,008 miles, the vehicle has moved from advisories on front brake pads and worn front brake discs to a pass with no recorded defects, suggesting the front braking components were replaced between June 2025 and June 2026. The single failure on 2025-06-18 at 81,007 miles for a deteriorated offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover also appears to have been rectified ahead of the retest on the same day. The mileage accumulation of roughly 8,068 miles per year is typical for an urban-focused city car of this age. The record shows a steady climb from 61,077 miles in July 2023 to 71,627 miles in July 2024, then to 81,007 miles by June 2025, indicating consistent use without prolonged standing periods. The jump of approximately 9,381 miles between July 2024 and June 2025 is slightly higher than the annual average but remains within a normal range for a petrol-engined fortwo used for regular commuting or short trips. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the underside, as the undertrays prevented a full assessment of brake lines, fuel lines, and structural corrosion in the most recent test. The 2025 failure for a degraded anti-roll bar linkage dust joint cover points to exposure of the ball joint to dirt and moisture, so the front suspension linkage and bushes should be checked for play or wear. The front brake advisories recorded in June 2025 suggest the discs and pads were replaced shortly after, but a test drive should confirm the braking system operates without judder, pull, or uneven wear. Given the compact footprint and typical urban use of this model, corrosion on the front subframe, sills, and around the suspension mounting points warrants close attention, particularly if the undertrays have trapped moisture against the structure.
