Things to check
- MOT HISTORY CRITICAL: No valid MOT since 2012-04-12; last recorded 2011-04-12.
- MOT HISTORY CRITICAL: A 2008 SORN (no MOT recorded) is a major red flag for unverified roadworthiness.
- MILEAGE FRAUD INDICATORS: Mileage of 32,628 miles is 99% below UK average for a 2004 SMART, strongly suggesting odometer tampering.
- REPEATING LIGHT FAILURES: Headlamp failures in 2007 and 2009, with a 2011 failure, indicate a persistent and unresolved electrical issue.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP Safety Rating: 5/5 stars (2022) — indicates a strong safety record for its age.
- No Recent Major Failures: The last MOT failure was in 2011, suggesting the car has been off-road for a significant period.
