2009 Smart (mcc) Fortwo Coupe 0.7L Petrol · WM09 BWB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 09 May 2025 at 99,289 miles. While the most recent test showed no defects, the maintenance trend indicates a period of instability during the previous year. The record shows three consecutive failures between March and April 2024 before achieving a pass, suggesting that specific issues required reactive intervention to meet minimum standards. The lack of advisories in the latest test implies that the mechanical or structural faults identified were successfully rectified. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 99,289 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,840 miles. However, the data reveals a recent burst of activity; between the 21 March 2024 and 09 May 2025 tests, the car covered 4,805 miles in just over a year. This low-frequency usage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine compared to high-mileage examples, but long periods of standing on a vehicle of this age can lead to the degradation of rubber components and the drying of fluid systems. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the suspension and subframe, as the repeated failures in early 2024 suggest components were at the limit of their tolerance. Despite the recent clean pass, the Smart chassis requires a close check for structural corrosion on mounting points and exhaust hangers, which are common failure points for this generation. Additionally, verify the brake system for binding calipers or perished seals, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from uneven wear and surface rust on the discs due to infrequent use.
