2005 Smart Forfour 1.5L Diesel · WG05 FFV

The 2005 SMART FORFOUR has a consistent MOT history with no recorded defects in its last five annual tests, all of which were passed. The most recent MOT on 2025-11-26 at 201,157 miles showed no issues, indicating the vehicle met safety and roadworthiness standards at that time. This pattern of passing without defects suggests the car has maintained a stable condition over the past five years. The mileage of 201,157 miles, equivalent to roughly 9,579 miles per year, aligns with typical usage for a 21-year-old vehicle. This suggests neither excessive wear nor prolonged periods of inactivity, as the mileage falls within a reasonable range for its age. However, the absence of defects in the MOT records does not rule out potential hidden issues, particularly in components not tested during an MOT, such as suspension, engine, or electrical systems. The vehicle’s condition trend appears stable, with no signs of worsening in the recorded history. However, the lack of recent defects may also reflect the limitations of MOT testing, which focuses on specific safety-critical elements rather than overall mechanical health. A buyer should be cautious about assuming the car is free of underlying issues, as the MOT does not assess all aspects of a vehicle’s performance. Key checks for a buyer include inspecting the suspension for unusual wear or noise, testing the brakes for responsiveness, and looking for signs of fluid leaks or engine misfires.
