The SMART FORTWO (2007-13) 2DR CABRIOLET 0.8 CDI 54 EU5 PULSE STOUCH AUTO5 is a tiny, two-seat city car with a folding fabric roof, built for nimble urban travel rather than carrying a family. Its compact footprint and open-air feel make it a distinctive alternative to conventional small hatchbacks. Mycarcheck.com records 38 checks covering 25 different VINs, giving a snapshot of examples buyers have researched. Those cars averaged around 56,000 miles and 3,000 miles a year; the average private-sale valuation was £3,500.

The economical 0.8-litre diesel suits commuters, city residents and drivers wanting an easy-to-park second car; the cabriolet roof adds open-air fun. Compared with rivals, it offers compactness and personality, but its two-seat layout limits versatility. Its automatic-style transmission is convenient in traffic; test-drive it to ensure the shifts suit you.
