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

This 2005 Smart has 23 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 14,798 miles. While mileage is low, a significant mileage anomaly in the early years and a history of neglect warrant careful inspection.

The vehicle shows unusually high early mileage (98,153 mi by May 2019) followed by extremely low annual usage (e.g., 826 miles from Sep 2022 to Sep 2023), indicating inconsistent driving patterns.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (coil spring, bush) and advisories (shock absorber) across multiple tests.
  • Persistent tyre wear advisories (6 occurrences) from 2019 to 2024, indicating chronic neglect.
  • Unusually high early mileage (98,153 mi by May 2019) followed by very low annual usage.
  • Major failure for Nearside Front Inner Suspension arm on Sep 2023, after years of advisories.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-09-25, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage since 2019, indicating light recent use.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) for a 2005 Smart is excellent.
