2015 SYM JD 0.0L Petrol · AE15 YRM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the history indicates intermittent issues with the braking system. The most recent test in September 2022 at 11,031 miles resulted in a pass despite a reported spongy front brake lever that locked during the roller test. This follows a failure in early June 2021 where the roller brake test failed to meet the minimum efficiency requirements, suggesting the braking hydraulics or mechanical components require consistent attention to maintain reliable performance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the July 2019 test at 7,315 miles and the June 2021 test at 11,028 miles, representing only three thousand miles covered over two years. This pattern suggests the scooter may have sat for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, fluid breakdown, and internal corrosion that is not captured by low mileage alone. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to address the recurring issues with spongy levers and poor efficiency. The tester-reported fault in 2022 indicates a potential failure in the master cylinder or perished fluid that needs to be bled or replaced. Given the low usage and long age, check for flat spots on the tyres, perished brake hoses, and seized caliper pistons which are common when vehicles remain stationary. Inspect the frame for structural rust to ensure that the long periods of standing have not compromised the integrity of the chassis.
