This 2016 Smart has 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 13,376 miles. While many issues were resolved, the consistent need for repairs suggests a higher ongoing maintenance burden.
The vehicle shows very low annual mileage of 3,582 miles/yr, averaging only 358 miles per year since registration in January 2016, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Jan 2022) and failures (Nov 2022, Jan 2024) indicate a persistent wear issue.
- Recurring wiper advisories (Jan 2022) and failures (Nov 2022, Jan 2024) suggest a recurring maintenance need.
- Major failures for lights (Nov 2022, Jan 2024) and windscreen wipers (Nov 2022, Jan 2024) point to a history of reactive repairs.
- Major failures for brakes (Jan 2024) and emissions (Jan 2024) are significant safety and environmental concerns.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-13, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent low mileage (13,376 mi over 10 years) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- No mileage discrepancies or fraud detected in the MOT history.
- All major failures were immediately rectified and passed subsequent retests, showing responsive ownership.
