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 15,532 miles. However, the very low mileage of 26,163 miles over 13 years, significantly below average, raises a critical odometer integrity concern.
The vehicle shows very low usage, averaging 2,025 miles/year, with a significant drop in annual mileage from 2019 onwards, suggesting potential odometer issues.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 26,163 mi (13 years) vs typical 86,118 mi for age.
- Mileage dropped sharply from 2019 (21,387 mi) to 2024 (24,706 mi), indicating potential tampering.
- Brake system advisories noted in 2015, 2016, and 2017, though resolved, suggest historical wear.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- No MOT failures recorded across 8 tests, indicating a well-maintained vehicle.
- Valid MOT until November 2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) confirms high safety standards for this model.
