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

This 2015 Smart has 14 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 42,446 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues suggest a reactive maintenance approach.

The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage averaging 11,168 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring Tyre failures (Aug 2018, Aug 2020, Aug 2021, Aug 2024) and advisories (Aug 2019, Aug 2021) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring Suspension arm ball joint failures (Aug 2021, Aug 2022, Aug 2024) and advisories (Aug 2023) point to a structural weakness.
  • Recurring Registration Plate Lamp failures (Aug 2020, Aug 2021, Aug 2022, Aug 2024) and advisories (Aug 2025) suggest a persistent electrical or mechanical fault.
  • Multiple same-day retests (e.g., Aug 2018, Aug 2020, Aug 2021) suggest a 'fix-it-to-pass' approach rather than preventative maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 08/06/2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,168 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
  • Recent MOT pass (Aug 2025) after addressing the latest failures.
