AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Smart has 7 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 4,235 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age is a significant concern.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 4,235 miles in July 2021, followed by very low annual usage averaging 3,348 miles per year, which is highly unusual for a 2018 vehicle.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 25,259 miles over 8 years (typical: 58,315 miles, n=2971 SMARTs).
- Recurring tyre damage advisories across 4 tests (Jul 2022, Jul 2023, Jul 2024, Jul 2025).
- Previous failure for Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) on 2021-07-20.
- Recurring sill damage advisories across 2 tests (2021-07-20, 2021-07-20).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-07-30, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in MOT history.
- Consistent retesting and immediate resolution of failures (e.g., TPMS 2021).
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars
