2006 Smart Fortwo Coupe 0.7L Petrol · WD06 AWR

The 2006 SMART FORTWO COUPE has a recent MOT history showing a single failure in early 2024, followed by a pass just weeks later. The most recent MOT on 2024-09-09 confirmed the vehicle passed with 84,685 miles, but the prior entry on 2024-01-29 revealed two critical issues: an exhaust Lambda reading outside specified limits and a major exhaust gas leak. These defects were addressed before the subsequent pass on 2024-01-31, suggesting repairs were made. However, the presence of a major exhaust fault indicates potential underlying engine or sensor issues that could recur. The vehicle’s mileage of 84,685 miles over 20 years equates to roughly 4,234 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could imply light usage or extended periods of inactivity, both of which may contribute to wear on components like seals, gaskets, or electrical systems. While lower mileage often correlates with less mechanical stress, it does not eliminate risks from corrosion or component degradation if the car has been stored improperly. The MOT history shows no other defects in the years prior to 2024, indicating a generally stable condition until the recent exhaust-related failure. The trend in MOT results does not show a clear worsening or improvement. The single failure in early 2024 was resolved, and subsequent tests passed without issues.
