AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Smart has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate. While mileage is low and the MOT is current, the consistent wear on critical safety components demands thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,955 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine light usage.
Things to check
- 2021-09-21: DANGEROUS defect on Offside Front Tyre (ply/cords exposed) indicates severe neglect.
- 2020-08-19: Recurring advisory for worn front brake discs (pitted) across 5 separate tests.
- 2021-09-21: Recurring advisory for worn rear tyres (inner edge) across 4 separate tests.
- 2023-11-01: Major failure for Nearside Windscreen wiper, then passed same day, suggesting a quick fix.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-04-01, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,955 miles/yr) suggests light, careful use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the MOT history.
- All previous failures and major defects were immediately rectified and passed on retest.
