AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2017 Smart Forfour holds a current MOT, passing its most recent test on 15 June 2026 at 57,477 miles. The maintenance trend indicates a gradual deterioration in consumable components rather than a stable condition. The June 2026 test flagged advisories for a perishing Nearside Rear tyre, front brake pads wearing thin, and worn, pitted front brake discs. This contrasts sharply with the clean bills of health recorded in August 2023 and August 2024, suggesting basic wear items are now due for replacement. Accumulating 57,477 miles over nine years yields an annual average of approximately 6,386 miles, a typical figure for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows consistent usage without alarming spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the car covered roughly 8,977 miles, before settling into a steadier rhythm of around 6,500 miles per year thereafter. This steady accumulation aligns logically with the current wear observed on braking components. A physical inspection must prioritize the condition of the braking system and wheel alignment. The tester flagged pitted and scored front brake discs alongside thin pads in June 2026, indicating aggressive braking habits or delayed servicing. Tyre wear remains a recurring theme. The August 2025 test highlighted edge wear on both Nearside tyres, while the previous August 2024 failure exposed cords on the Offside Front. Combined with the current perishing on the Nearside Rear, this pattern strongly suggests misalignment or consistently underinflated tyres. A buyer should thoroughly inspect the inner sidewalls for uneven wear and check the remaining tread depth across all four wheels, as a full tyre replacement may be imminent.
