AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2010 Smart has 14 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 15,931 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the extremely low mileage for its age makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows only 44,324 miles over 16 years, significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, suggesting a major odometer integrity issue.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 44,324 miles over 16 years (typical: 95,117 miles, n=1664 SMARTs).
- Mileage anomaly: 44,324 miles recorded in Oct 2020 is 2,703 miles lower than Apr 2019, indicating potential fraud.
- First MOT not until 2013 (3 years late): Vehicle was driven without a valid MOT for its first three years.
- MOT expired 2021-10-23: Current MOT status is 'Not valid' as of the report date, requiring immediate retest.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2022) — indicates a strong safety record for its age.
- No recurring major failures: While there were failures, they were isolated and not repeated on the same system.
- Immediate retest passes: All failures were promptly rectified and passed on the same or next day, showing responsible ownership.
- Low annual mileage: Average of 4,120 miles per year suggests light use, potentially extending component life.
