2018 Mutt Mongrel 125 0.1L Petrol · FM18 XPV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent test on August 27, 2024 at 13,668 miles passed, yet it revealed an advisory for a rear tyre worn near the legal limit. This suggests that while the bike remains operational, the owner tends to address components only once they approach the point of failure or are specifically flagged during the annual inspection. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,700 miles per year. There is a gap of 1,349 miles between the July 2022 test at 11,194 miles and the August 2023 test at 12,543 miles. Such low usage means the vehicle likely sits stationary for long periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, drying out of seals, and surface corrosion on metalwork despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine. A buyer must specifically inspect the steering headbearing, which was flagged as stiff or notchy in August 2023. This fault was not mentioned in the subsequent 2024 test, so the buyer should verify if the bearings were replaced or if the issue was overlooked. The loose nearside switchgear and bent front brake lever noted in 2023 also should be checked for structural integrity and secure operation. Given the low mileage, pay close attention to flat spots on the tyres and corrosion on the brake discs, as these are common issues for vehicles that are infrequently used.
