Common Issues to Watch For
Based on the 2013 SMART FORTWO PASSION MHD AUTO UNCLASSIFIED's fuel type, age, and engine size, these are the most likely problem areas to check.
Coil Pack Failure
Medium riskSmaller petrol engines are prone to ignition coil failures, causing misfires and rough running. Replacement is £50-£150 per coil.
Rust and Corrosion
