AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Smart has 7 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 14,630 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring headlamp failures and a major service gap in 2023 warrant careful investigation.
The vehicle shows very low annual mileage, averaging only 4,305 miles per year, with a concerning 2-year period (Jan 2024 to Mar 2025) where only 2,924 miles were recorded.
Things to check
- Recurring headlamp failures (Mar 2025, Mar 2026) indicate a persistent electrical or mechanical issue.
- Major service gap in 2023 suggests potential periods of disuse or neglect, impacting overall maintenance.
- Very low annual mileage (4,305 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) may suggest limited use or long periods of inactivity.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until March 2027 provides significant peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) confirms excellent safety features for a compact car.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
