AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2009 Smart has 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 17,914 miles. However, a significant brake failure in 2024, combined with recurring tyre advisories and very low mileage, warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows very low annual mileage, averaging 3,475 miles/year, with a notable 2021 service gap and inconsistent usage patterns.
Things to check
- Aug 2024: Major failure for excessively binding Nearside Rear Service brake.
- Feb 2023: All four tyres worn close to legal limit (advisory) — indicates chronic neglect.
- 2021: Significant 1-year MOT gap (no test recorded) — suggests periods of disuse or neglect.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-04, offering immediate peace of mind.
- 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2022) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
- No recurring major failures on critical systems (engine, gearbox, suspension) — only advisories.
