According to an Apple Support page, one can use the AirPort Utility to check the SMART status of an Apple Time Capsule disk - see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202174 but it doesn't say how to do it and I don't see any option in the Mac Airport Utility software to do it. Any advice?

The old utility gave the info that SMART was verified.
The new version utility does not.
SMART is checked at start up.. and if there is a fault it will show as disk needs repair.. or worse the TC will flash amber and refuse to boot.
The test has passed because the TC is running.. so Apple have simply removed the result of the test.. unfortunately all the info that SMART can give you is missing.
Use AirPort Utility to check SMART status?
