AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2014 Smart has 14 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 8,723 miles. The vehicle's past safety record and inconsistent usage make it a high-risk purchase.
The mileage trajectory shows a normal average of 6,710 miles/year until Dec 2020, but a significant jump to 32,331 miles in just 9 months (Jun 2019), followed by extremely low annual usage (e.g., 3,281 miles in 2022-2023).
Things to check

- DANGEROUS defect: Engine mounting damaged (Jun 2019) — a critical safety failure.
- DANGEROUS defect: Brakes failed (Dec 2021) — a major safety concern.
- Recurring Tyres: 11 advisories (2018, 2019, 2024) — persistent wear pattern.
Working in its favour

- Consistent mileage trajectory post-2020 — no recent anomalies.
- Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2022) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
