2012 Qingqi QM 125 GY-2B 0.1L Petrol · AE12 EAP

The overall roadworthiness status of this 2012 Qingqi QM 125 GY-2B is currently indeterminate due to a four-year gap in its MOT record. The most recent test occurred on 5 July 2022 at 9,135 miles, passing with zero defects recorded. Prior to that, a test on 30 June 2022 at the identical mileage failed, though notably, no defects were recorded for this failure either. The maintenance trend appears stable but stagnant, reflecting a machine that has seen negligible use over the past four years and currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, which expired in July 2023. The mileage pattern indicates exceptionally low usage for a machine of this age. Accumulating only 9,135 miles over fourteen years equates to roughly 652 miles annually. The recorded mileage failed to advance between the June 2022 failure and the July 2022 pass, and the absence of any subsequent MOT entries strongly suggests the motorcycle has remained stationary since mid-2022. Such prolonged inactivity often inflicts more mechanical harm than regular use, as components degrade from standing rather than wear. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection, focusing on the deterioration caused by long-term storage. Tyres will almost certainly exhibit flat-spotting, perishing, or sidewall cracking despite retaining tread depth. Brake systems demand close scrutiny; calipers may well be binding, and brake discs will likely suffer from surface corrosion that compromises stopping efficiency. The fuel system requires draining, as stale petrol will cause carburettor blockages and starting issues. Suspension seals and bushes must be checked for drying out and cracking, while the chain and sprockets need assessment for rust and seizure. The battery will almost certainly require replacement after years of inactivity.
