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 15 MOT tests on record with a 87% pass rate and 15,866 miles. The recent major suspension failure and persistent advisories warrant careful inspection.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,445 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 1,846 miles between Aug 2022 and Sep 2023).

Things to check

  • Major suspension failure on nearside front arm on 2025-11-12, following an advisory in 2024.
  • Recurring brake hose advisories across 5 separate MOT tests (2014, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2025).
  • Engine oil advisory noted on 2025-11-12, a recurring issue from previous tests.
  • Mileage trajectory shows extremely low annual usage (3,445 mi/yr), with a significant drop in recent years.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-12, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No mileage discrepancies or signs of odometer fraud detected.
  • Recent major suspension failure was immediately rectified and passed on 2025-11-12.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage suggests light use and potential for longevity.
