2015 SYM JET 0.1L Petrol · AE15 YRF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical wear. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 20,277 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just one week prior. The transition from a failure to a pass indicates the owner addressed the critical front tyre and wheel bearing issues, yet the persistent advisories regarding the shock absorber and rear suspension bushes suggest that components are now reaching the end of their functional life despite the low overall mileage. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 20,277 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 1,843 miles per year. The data reveals a significant gap in usage between March 2023 at 4,288 miles and April 2024 at 18,401 miles, where the vehicle covered over 14,000 miles in a single year. This sporadic usage explains the silent perishing of the tyres noted in 2024, as rubber components often degrade through age and lack of movement rather than through tread wear. A buyer must physically inspect the front end assembly to ensure the rough wheel bearing flagged in August 2025 was properly replaced. The light misting on the front shock absorber remains a recurring concern as it indicates a failing seal that will eventually lead to a loss of damping. Additionally, the rear suspension arm bushes have been flagged as worn in two consecutive tests; these should be checked for excessive play or cracking. Given the history of a stiff steering headbearing in 2024, it is also crucial to verify that the steering remains smooth and free of notched movement during a test ride.
