2011 SYM Symply 125 0.1L Petrol · YX11 AZU

The vehicle currently presents a questionable roadworthiness status as the most recent data shows a trend of mechanical neglect following long periods of inactivity. While the test in October 2022 at 25,232 miles passed, it followed an immediate failure due to a damaged front brake hose and an aged front tyre. The pass also noted slight play in the front wheel bearings and a notchy steering head bearing, indicating that components are reaching the end of their service life despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old scooter, averaging approximately 1,682 miles per year. There is a significant gap in the records between 2014 and 2019, during which the vehicle sat or covered less than 500 miles over five years. Between 2019 and 2022, the mileage increased sharply by over 23,000 miles. This pattern of intermittent use often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the seizing of moving parts, which explains the reported brake hose and steering bearing issues. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front end and suspension assembly. The recurring issues with the steering head and wheel bearings suggest the steering geometry requires attention to ensure safe handling. The braking system needs scrutiny for perished rubber or cracks in the brake hoses, given the previous 2022 failure and the fluctuations noted in 2020. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, the tyres should also be checked for dry rot and cracking, as tread depth may be sufficient while the compound integrity has failed.
