1996 CAGIVA MITO-1250.1L PETROL

The most recent MOT for this 1996 Cagiva MitO-125 was recorded on 2009-09-29, with a mileage of 5,028 miles. The report noted a minor issue: the drive chain was slightly tight (6.2.1d), but no other defects were recorded. This suggests the vehicle passed the test with only a minor adjustment required. However, no further MOT entries are documented after this date, despite the vehicle being over 30 years old in 2026. The earlier MOT in 2006-05-06 showed no defects, but the recorded mileage of 14,243 miles at that time conflicts with the 5,028 miles listed for 2009. This discrepancy raises questions about the accuracy of the mileage data or the possibility of incomplete records. If the 2009 mileage is correct, the vehicle has remained at a very low odometer reading for over a decade, which could indicate long periods of inactivity or storage. The low mileage of 5,028 miles over 30 years equates to roughly 168 miles per year, far below typical usage for a motorcycle of this age. While this may suggest light use, it also increases the risk of components degrading due to lack of regular operation, such as seized bearings, dry rot in rubber parts, or corrosion. The absence of recent MOTs means there is no evidence of ongoing maintenance or safety checks, which is a significant red flag for a vehicle of this age.
