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

This 2014 Smart has 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 5,761 miles. This is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud, making it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows only 5,761 miles recorded since January 2014, which is a critical and unexplained anomaly for a 2014 SMART electric vehicle.

Things to check

  • Critical mileage anomaly: Only 5,761 miles recorded over 12 years for a 2014 SMART electric vehicle — a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
  • Recurring tyre issues: Multiple tyre advisories and failures (Oct 2020, Aug 2022, Aug 2023, Apr 2024) indicate a pattern of wear and neglect.
  • Dangerous defect: Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements (Apr 2024) — a DANGEROUS defect that was only recently addressed.
  • Unexplained low usage: The vehicle has very low mileage for its age, which is a significant red flag for an electric SMART and warrants a full HPI check.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-04-13: Offers immediate peace of mind regarding roadworthiness and compliance.
  • Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating: Indicates a high level of safety features for a 2014 SMART.
  • No recurring major failures: Despite the mileage anomaly, the MOT record shows no persistent major system failures.
  • Low annual mileage: The vehicle has very low mileage, suggesting minimal wear and tear on mechanical components.
