AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2005 Smart has 20 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 4,796 miles. The mileage anomalies are severe, suggesting potential odometer fraud or long periods of inactivity.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 4,468 miles/year, with a 10-year MOT gap (2021) and a 10-year period of suspiciously low usage (2015-2025).

Things to check

  • Mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, averaging only 4,468 miles/year with significant drops.
  • MOT history shows a 10-year gap (2021) with no recorded tests.
  • The 2010-07-08 test failed for headlamp aim, then passed the same day with an advisory.
  • The Oct 2025 test failed for an unspecified reason, then passed with advisories on exhaust, anti-roll bar link, and brake disc.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until October 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring major failures are evident in the MOT history.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating is a positive for overall safety features.
