QUADZILLA CF 500-A (QUAD BIKE)2008 · 0.5L PETROL

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT test on 22 September 2025 at 3,769 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2024 and 2025. The fact that no defects were recorded on the passing tests suggests that any minor issues are being rectified prior to retesting rather than representing a systemic mechanical decline. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old machine, averaging approximately 209 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 3,535 miles and the October 2024 test at 3,714 miles, the vehicle covered only 179 miles in over thirteen months. This low usage frequency indicates the quad likely sits stationary for long periods. While this reduces the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation such as rubber perish, fluid breakdown, and component seizure. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection focusing on components affected by long-term storage. Given the low mileage, the brake system should be checked for seized calipers or perished hydraulic hoses that may not manifest during a short test. The suspension bushes and tyres should be examined for cracking or rot, as rubber degrades over time regardless of the distance travelled. Additionally, the structural integrity of the frame must be verified for corrosion, as low-mileage quads stored in damp environments often suffer from hidden rust in the mounting points and along the main frame.
