2018 Smart (mcc) Forfour 0.9L Petrol · WV67 AAF

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 January 2026 with 44,000 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years. While the car previously struggled to pass testing, the two most recent inspections show no recorded defects or advisories. This suggests that any previous mechanical or emission issues were addressed and the vehicle is currently being maintained to a functional standard. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Between February 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 8,189 miles, while it covered 11,338 miles in the twelve months leading up to the 2026 test. This increase in usage suggests the car is used more frequently for short or city trips recently. Such low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components like suspension bushes or the seizing of brake calipers due to lack of regular use. An in-person inspection should focus on the areas that caused the previous failures in February 2024 and January 2025. Since the record does not list the specific reason codes for those failures, the buyer must verify that the repairs were thorough rather than merely temporary fixes. Given the low mileage and age of the SMART, check the chassis for surface corrosion and inspect the condition of the brake discs for pitting or uneven wear. Additionally, examine the tyres for sidewall cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often age out faster than they wear down the tread.
