The SMART FORFOUR (2004-07) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.5 109 PULSE SOFTOUCH AUTO is a small five-door city hatchback, offering easier passenger access than the two-seat Smart Fortwo while staying compact for town driving. Its automatic gearbox and lively 1.5-litre petrol engine make it an appealing alternative to conventional small UK hatchbacks. mycarcheck.com has recorded five checks for this model, covering five different VINs, so the sample is small, not a broad market picture. Checks show a reported average private-sale valuation of around £500 and recorded mileage of 85,000 miles. Annual mileage averages 4,000, while vehicles had 6.6 previous keepers on average. With five doors, playful styling and rear seats, it suits commuters, couples and first-time buyers wanting an easy-to-park car. More individual than a Ford Fiesta or Toyota Yaris, the ForFour offers a characterful alternative to mainstream small hatchbacks. Check condition and service history carefully, as with any older used car.
