About the 2014 SMART FORTWO PASSION MHD AUTO

The 2014 SMART FORTWO PASSION MHD AUTO is a city car with a 999cc petrol engine. 51 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2026, making it a rare model on UK roads. Among all cars from 2014, the average MOT pass rate is 81%, and this model beats that benchmark.

With an average of 41,518 miles at 12 years old, SMART FORTWO PASSION MHD AUTO owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.

Buying a Used 2014 SMART FORTWO PASSION MHD AUTO

At 12 years old, the SMART FORTWO PASSION MHD AUTO is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins. A full service history is especially valuable at this age. Note: with only 51 tests in our data, these figures should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.

Common Issues to Watch For

Based on the 2014 SMART FORTWO PASSION MHD AUTO's fuel type, age, and engine size, these are the most likely problem areas to check.

Coil Pack Failure

Medium risk

Smaller petrol engines are prone to ignition coil failures, causing misfires and rough running. Replacement is £50-£150 per coil.

Rust and Corrosion

Watch out

At 10+ years, check wheel arches, sills, subframe, and brake lines for rust. Structural corrosion is an MOT failure. Prevention is far cheaper than repair.

Suspension Bushings

Watch out

Rubber suspension bushes harden and crack with age, causing knocking noises and vague handling. A full refresh costs £300-£800 depending on the car.

Service History

Low risk

Always request a full service history. Regular servicing is the single best indicator of how well a car has been maintained, regardless of mileage.
