2012 Quad Quadzilla Petrol · GX12 ATU

The 2012 Quad Quadzilla is currently roadworthy, having passed every MOT since 2015. The most recent test on 22 April 2025 recorded a minor oil leak under clause 8.4.1 (a) (i) but otherwise cleared the vehicle. Earlier tests noted a drive chain wear item in May 2023 and a direction indicator flash‑rate fault in October 2021. These items are low‑impact consumables and the pattern shows a stable condition rather than a progressive decline. Mileage data for the Quadzilla is unusually low for its age. The vehicle carries only 5,497 miles at July 2026, which averages roughly 393 miles per year over 14 years. However, the recorded figure fell from 6,243 miles on the April 2015 test to 5,067 miles in October 2021, suggesting a possible mileage reset or recording error. The subsequent rise to 5,079 miles in May 2023 and to 5,497 miles in April 2025 indicates minimal usage but also highlights a two‑year gap between the 2023 and 2025 inspections. The recurring faults point to a few items a buyer should examine in person. The oil leak flagged in 2025 requires a check of the oil system for seepage, correct level and condition. The drive chain wear noted in 2023 merits a visual inspection of chain tension, lubrication and signs of excessive wear. The direction indicator flash‑rate issue from 2021 should be verified by operating all indicators and listening for abnormal flicker. Also, given the vehicle’s age, a thorough look at suspension bushes, brake disc condition and any corrosion on chassis components is advisable. Overall, the Quadzilla presents a low‑mileage, largely maintained platform with only minor, non‑critical defects recorded. The recent MOT demonstrates that the vehicle remains within DVSA standards, but the inconsistent mileage history and the presence of an oil leak suggest a buyer should obtain a detailed service log and possibly have a qualified mechanic perform a pre‑purchase walk‑around to confirm the condition of the oil system, drive chain and lighting circuits before purchase.
