Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
The most critical point for negotiation is the tyres. The MOT records from 2023, 2024, and 2025 all highlight cracking, perishing, and valve stem leaks across various wheels. Check the manufacture date codes on the current tyres; if they are several years old, they may need replacing regardless of tread depth due to age-related degradation.
Verify the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed at regular intervals. Because this vehicle has covered significantly fewer miles than the model average, it may have been used for very short urban trips, which can be more demanding on the engine oil than longer journeys.
With a small 898cc petrol engine, this vehicle is designed for low-cost urban commuting. It will fall into a lower insurance group and a modest tax band, making it one of the more affordable options for city driving.
Maintenance costs are generally low, though the specific history of this car suggests a higher-than-average spend on tyres due to perishing. Given the low annual mileage, the overall running costs will be minimal.
Closely inspect the sidewalls of all four tyres for the 'cracking or perishing' noted in the 2024 and 2025 MOT failures. Ensure the tyre valve stems are secure and not leaking, as a 'seriously damaged' valve stem caused a failure in October 2024.
Check the operation of the windscreen washer system and the headlight adjusters, as both were flagged as faults in recent tests. Additionally, inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, as this is listed as one of the top three common failure reasons for the FORTWO model across the wider dataset.
This silver 2017 SMART FORTWO has exceptionally low mileage, recording just 14,124 miles as of September 2025. The MOT history reveals a consistent pattern of tyre perishing and cracking, alongside minor failures for washer fluid and a valve stem. These issues are consistent with the model's aggregate data, where tyres are a primary cause of MOT failure.
The SMART FORTWO has an average MOT pass rate of 86.3%, with tyres, headlamps, and exhausts being the most frequent points of failure.
