AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2007 Smart has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 20,459 miles. The car has been driven very lightly, which can sometimes mask underlying issues.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 4,859 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.

Things to check

  • Major failure for Nearside Parking brake inoperative on one side (Oct 2019) indicates a significant safety system issue.
  • Recurring advisories for anti-roll bar link (2019) and exhaust (2019) suggest ongoing wear and potential future costs.
  • The vehicle has been driven very lightly (4,859 miles/yr), which can sometimes mask underlying mechanical issues.

Working in its favour

  • Passed its most recent MOT in October 2019, showing it was roadworthy at that time.
  • No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history, which is a positive sign for immediate safety.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (4,859 miles/yr) suggests light use and potentially lower wear on certain components.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) indicates a strong safety record for its model.
