Our Verdict
A sensible choice for urban driving, pro
When inspecting this specific WR10ROU, focus on the suspension and tyres. Although the 2023 MOT noted worn suspension arm pins/bushes and perishing tyres on both the nearside and offside fronts, the subsequent clean tests suggest these may have been addressed. You should ask for receipts to confirm that these specific components were replaced.
Given this is the MHD (Micro Hybrid Drive) automatic model, ensure the stop-start system functions correctly and the transmission shifts smoothly. Check the condition of the tyres currently fitted to ensure they do not show the cracking or perishing noted in the 2023 record. As with all small petrol engines, check for any signs of oil leaks around the 999cc unit.
The SMART Fortwo is designed for economy. With a small 999cc engine, fuel consumption is typically efficient for city use, though actual MPG will depend on driving style. Tax and insurance groups for this 2010 model are generally low, making it an affordable option for new drivers or urban commuters.
Maintenance costs for this model are often manageable due to the simplicity of the vehicle, though parts for specific Smart components can sometimes carry a premium compared to mainstream brands. Expect annual running costs to be relatively low, primarily driven by fuel and routine servicing.
Based on the vehicle's history, a thorough inspection of the front suspension is essential. The 2023 MOT specifically flagged worn suspension arm pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside fronts. Even though the 2024 and 2025 tests passed without defect, you should check for any knocks or knocks when driving over uneven surfaces.
Additionally, inspect the condition of all four tyres. The 2023 record highlighted tyre damage and perishing; ensure the current set has ample tread and no visible sidewall cracking. Finally, check the rear registration plate, as the 2023 MOT noted it had deteriorated, though this should have been rectified by now.
This 2010 SMART Fortwo Pulse MHD Auto has covered 56,868 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 3,805 miles per year. While the 2023 MOT showed several advisories regarding suspension components and tyres, the most recent two tests in 2025 and 2026 recorded no defects. The grey 999cc petrol variant appears to have transitioned into a period of consistent passing results.
Aggregate data from 819 analysed vehicles shows an 80.2% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including exhausts, suspension arms, and driver's view components.
