Our Verdict
Caution is strongly advised. The vehicle
Prospective buyers must ensure that the current MOT failures—specifically the major exhaust leak, emissions failure, and damaged rear tyre—are fully rectified and evidenced by a new pass certificate before completing the purchase. The history of rusted brake discs and perishing tyres suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary, which can lead to other issues such as battery degradation or perished rubber seals.
Powered by a 999cc petrol engine, this vehicle is designed for urban efficiency with relatively low fuel consumption. It typically falls into a lower tax bracket and insurance group, making it an economical choice for city commuting.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the exhaust system and emissions output to ensure the recent major leak has been properly repaired. Closely examine all tyres for cracking or perishing, as this has been a repeated failure point for this specific vehicle and is a known common issue for the model. Additionally, check the condition of the brake discs for any remaining pitting or rust, referencing the failures recorded in July 2024.
This 2016 white Smart Fortwo has low recorded mileage of 28,103 miles, but its MOT history indicates recurring maintenance gaps. The most recent test resulted in a failure for a major exhaust leak and emissions issues, following previous failures for rusted brake discs and tyre sidewall cracking.
The Smart Fortwo has an average MOT pass rate of 86.3%, with tyres and exhausts identified as top failure reasons across the model range.
