Used smart Cars at Vertu

smart today is a different company from the one that built the original city cars, and its used range shows both chapters at once. On the same forecourt you'll find the Mercedes-era fortwo and forfour, the tiny two- and four-seaters designed around tight streets and small parking spaces, alongside the newer electric SUVs developed since smart became a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz and Geely. The smart #1 and smart #3 lead that newer chapter, both fully electric with zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving.

Every used smart at Vertu is prepared and checked by our colleagues before it reaches the forecourt, then backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee. If a car isn't right for you, you have a fortnight to exchange it or take a refund.

Flexible finance, including PCP and HP, runs across the used smart range, and part-exchange lets you put your current car towards the one you're moving to. Buying used also stretches your budget further, since the first owner has already taken the steepest part of the car's depreciation.

Why Buy a Used smart?

A used smart earns its place on three counts: city ability, running costs, and the fact that what makes a smart a smart carries over to a pre-owned one.

The things that suit a smart to town driving don't fade with the first owner. The fortwo's famously tight turning circle, the electric models' quiet, instant pull away from the lights, and the compact footprint that slots into spaces others drive past all work exactly as they left the factory.

Running costs stay low too. The petrol fortwo is a small, frugal three-cylinder city car, while every EQ model and both the smart #1 and smart #3 run on electricity, so home charging can replace forecourt fuel altogether. On the newer cars, that comes with zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving.

Choice is the third draw. Because the used market holds both eras at once, you can move between a sub-three-metre two-seater and a family-sized electric SUV without changing badge, in more trims and colours than any single showroom stocks at a time.

The table below covers the current electric smart models, with a note on why each one makes sense used and the battery and range you'll find. Select a model to view stock.

The highlights describe the latest version of each model. Used examples at Vertu span several model years, so specification, battery and features vary by age and trim. Confirm the details of any specific car with a colleague.

WLTP figures are recorded under controlled laboratory conditions and offer a guide for comparing models, though they may not always reflect real-world driving. Actual range varies with weather, driving style, road conditions and load.

smart: The Earlier Models

These are the Mercedes-era smarts, and they still make up much of the used range. All of them are built around the same idea: the smallest sensible footprint for city life, whether powered by petrol or by smart's EQ electric drive.

Equipment varies by age and trim, so a colleague can confirm exactly what any given car has.

Looking for the New smart #5?

The smart #5 is the brand's largest model, a family-sized electric SUV that sits above the #1 and #3. It's available to order new rather than through used stock, with WLTP range up to 367 miles, an 800-volt system and DC rapid charging up to 400 kW, enough for a 10 to 80 per cent top-up in around 18 minutes. You'll find it in the new smart deals.

Why Buy a Used smart from Vertu?

Buying a used smart from Vertu means the same checked, prepared car and the same guarantees whichever dealership you use. Here's what that looks like.

smart Finance and Part-Exchange

Spreading the cost of a used smart is straightforward, with two main routes and a part-exchange to put towards either.

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) keeps monthly payments lower by settling most of the cost at the end. You can then pay the final amount to own the car, hand it back, or part-exchange it for your next one.

Hire Purchase (HP) is the simpler ownership route, with fixed monthly payments and the car yours once the last one clears.

A free, no-obligation valuation tells you what your current car is worth towards the deal, and Vertu will still buy cars that have finance outstanding. Our finance explained guide sets out the options, and your local dealership can prepare a personalised quotation.
