AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Smart has 5 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 20,698 miles. The single major failure for brakes and a recurring advisory for wipers warrant careful inspection.
The vehicle shows 20,698 miles in Jan 2011, then 45,198 miles in Nov 2013, indicating a 24-year period with only 24,500 miles, a clear anomaly.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below average: 20,698 mi over 18 years (Jan 2011) — suggests odometer fraud.
- Major failure: Supplementary Restraint System warning lamp indicates a fault (Nov 2013) — safety-critical system.
- Major failure: Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (Nov 2013) — indicates poor maintenance history.
- MOT expired: Vehicle has no valid MOT certificate (as of 2014-11-14) — requires immediate re-test.
Working in its favour
- Clean recent MOT pass: Passed its last MOT test in Nov 2013 without any failures.
- No recurring major failures: The single major failure for brakes was immediately rectified.
- Consistent low mileage: Annual usage of 7,691 miles is well below UK average, suggesting light use.
- Euro NCAP rating: 5-star safety rating (2022) — indicates good structural integrity.
