2008 Smart Fortwo Pure 61 Auto 1.0L Petrol · WG08 FTA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 1 July 2022, which passed with no recorded defects. This followed a failure exactly one year prior in June 2022, though the record does not specify the mechanical cause of that failure. Given that the current date is 29 August 2026, the vehicle is over four years overdue for its annual inspection, rendering the previous roadworthiness status obsolete. The recorded mileage of 14,779 miles over an 18-year span reflects an average annual usage of approximately 821 miles per year. This exceptionally low mileage suggests the car has spent long periods stationary, which can lead to the degradation of components regardless of typical mechanical wear and tear. The data is sparse, with only two entries provided from 2022, leaving little historical evidence to track the long-term condition of the drivetrain or suspension components over the vehicle's actual lifespan. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the rubber components and fluid systems, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished hoses, cracked tyres, and seized brake components. Checking for seized brake calipers and pitted brake discs is essential given the lack of regular use. Furthermore, the chassis should be examined for structural corrosion, as the age of the 2008 Smart increases the risk of structural integrity issues that are not captured by low mileage figures alone. Buying score: 48 Risk level: Medium.
