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

This 2008 Smart has 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 3,892 miles. This fundamental data issue makes the vehicle's true condition and history unverifiable.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low annual mileage (e.g., 335 mi/yr before Aug 2015, 277 mi/yr before Aug 2019) and a 5-year gap in recorded mileage between 2014 and 2019, indicating a significant data integrity problem.

Things to check

  • Critical mileage anomaly: 5-year gap (2014-2019) and suspiciously low annual usage (e.g., 335 mi/yr before Aug 2015).
  • Unusually large mileage difference (5,885 mi) between retest pair on 28 Aug 2014/29 Aug 2014.
  • Recurring tyre issues (Oct 2021 advisory, Oct 2022 dangerous failure, Oct 2024 advisory) suggest chronic neglect.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Oct 2022, Oct 2023, Oct 2025) indicate ongoing wear without proper maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-10-11, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects since Oct 2025 retest.
  • Consistent retest pattern for failures, showing immediate issue resolution.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) for a 2008 Smart is excellent.
