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

This 2013 Smart has 12 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 10,986 miles. However, the very low mileage of 26,267 miles over 13 years, combined with recurring tyre advisories, warrants a thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows very low usage averaging 2,085 miles/year, with a significant drop in annual mileage from 2019 onwards, raising odometer integrity concerns.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 26,267 mi over 13 years.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Jul 2022, Jul 2024) suggest a pattern of wear.
  • First MOT in Jul 2018, but registered Jan 2013, a 3-year gap in history.
  • Potential for timing belt service if not completed, a significant cost.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • No MOT failures recorded across 8 tests, demonstrating a generally well-maintained vehicle.
  • 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2022) confirms high safety standards for this model.
  • Valid MOT until August 2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
