Our Verdict

Proceed with caution and budget for imme

When inspecting this specific SMART, your primary focus should be on the braking system. The MOT history shows corrosion on the offside rear metal brake pipe in both 2025 and 2026; you must verify if this has been professionally repaired or merely monitored. Additionally, check the condition of all four tyres, as the most recent test noted low tread on both front and rear sets.

Ask the seller for evidence of any work carried out regarding the brake pipe corrosion mentioned in the 2025 and 2026 MOTs. Given the jump in mileage from 38,098 in early 2025 to 61,454 in early 2026, request any service receipts that might cover this period of increased usage to ensure the 999cc petrol engine has been maintained.

The SMART FORTWO is generally economical to run due to its small 999.0cc engine. Expect relatively low fuel consumption suitable for urban driving, though actual costs will depend on your driving style and the increased mileage this specific car has seen recently.

Insurance groups for this model are typically low, making it an affordable option for many drivers. Maintenance costs can be influenced by the small tyre sizes and specific components, but you should budget for the inevitable replacement of tyres and brake components as highlighted by the recent MOT advisories.

Focus heavily on the underside of the vehicle. The repeated advisory regarding corrosion on the offside rear metal brake pipe is a specific point of concern that requires a physical inspection to ensure it hasn't progressed to a failure point.

Check the tread depth on all tyres using a gauge or the 20p test, as the 2026 MOT specifically flagged low tread on both front and rear. Finally, because this model's aggregate data shows headlamps and exhausts as common failure points, check that the headlight beams are clear and the exhaust system is free from excessive rattling or visible corrosion.

This 2014 black SMART FORTWO has covered 61,454 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 4,301 miles per year. While it has a history of passing MOT tests, recent records show a pattern of corrosion on the offside rear metal brake pipe and low tyre tread. The vehicle has transitioned from a very low-mileage period to a much higher usage phase in the last two years.

Aggregate data for this model shows an 86.3% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being tyres, headlamps, and exhausts.
