2009 Smart Fortwo Coupe 1.0L Petrol · WF09 WRD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on March 3, 2026 at 49,201 miles. The maintenance trend shows marked improvement after a period of significant neglect in early 2024. While the car struggled with multiple critical failures previously, the subsequent passes in 2025 and 2026 without recorded defects indicate that the previous mechanical and emission issues were successfully addressed and rectified. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. The data reveals a distinct burst of activity in early 2024, where the car covered nearly 800 miles in just one month between the January and February tests of 2024, followed by roughly 2,700 miles between February 2024 and March 2026. This low-frequency usage suggests the car sits stationary for long periods, which can lead to degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown despite low mechanical wear. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry because the 2024 failures flagged the nearside and offside front tyres as worn on the edges and the nearside rear tyre as worn on the inner edge. This pattern typically indicates incorrect alignment, worn suspension bushes, or ball joints. Given the previous engine management light failures and exhaust lambda sensor issues in early 2024, a diagnostic scan is necessary to ensure the oxygen sensors and engine control system are functioning correctly and not prone to intermittent faults. The low mileage also warrants a close check for brake corrosion on the discs and seized calipers, as stationary vehicles often suffer from surface rust and sticking pistons.
