This 2008 Smart has 25 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 13,935 miles. The mileage is suspiciously low, averaging only 3,480 miles per year, which is a significant red flag for a vehicle of this age.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 3,480 miles/year, with a suspiciously low 246 miles/year recorded before Jan 2022 and 9 miles/year before Apr 2023.

Things to check

  • Five major suspension failures (Apr 2023, Apr 2024, Mar 2025, Apr 2026) and one major brake failure (Apr 2026).
  • Recurring advisories on suspension arm (3 tests), coil spring (2 tests), and brake disc (2 tests).
  • Mileage is suspiciously low, averaging only 3,480 miles

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until April 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) suggests good inherent safety features.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current owner is addressing issues.
