The SMART FORFOUR (2004-07) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.5 109 PULSE is a small, five-door hatchback built for city life, offering more passenger access and flexibility than a two-seat city car. In the UK used-car market it sits between tiny urban runabouts and conventional superminis, making it an alternative to familiar small hatchbacks. Mycarcheck.com recorded 43 checks across 27 distinct VINs for this version, a useful snapshot rather than a large survey. Checks show an average private-sale value of £500 and average recorded mileage of 88,000 miles; annual mileage averages 5,000. The typical example has had around five previous keepers, so condition and history deserve close attention. With its distinctive Smart styling and punchier 1.5-litre, 109hp engine, the ForFour feels livelier than many basic city cars while remaining compact and easy to park. It suits commuters, couples and first-time buyers needing four doors, but check running costs and upkeep against mainstream supermini rivals.
