2017 Zontes Mantis 0.1L Petrol · AF67 FDP

The 2017 Zontes Mantis presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its MOT history. The most recent test on 16 June 2022 at 907 miles returned a pass with no advisories, confirming the machine remained mechanically sound at that point. Four years have since elapsed with no further test logged, so the current road status cannot be confirmed from the record alone. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally light use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The June 2021 test at 497 miles and the June 2022 test at 907 miles give an annual accumulation of roughly 400 miles across that span, dropping to about 101 miles per year averaged over the vehicle's life. Such low figures point to long standing periods rather than regular road use. The clean record with no gaps in the two tests shown suggests the prior keeper maintained basic statutory compliance, though the sparse history limits deeper wear analysis. A buyer should physically inspect the Mantis for corrosion on structural frame members and fork legs given the likely extended storage intervals. Standing vehicles commonly develop seized brake calipers, degraded tyre sidewalls, and hardened suspension bushes despite a clean MOT sheet. The absence of any flagged advisories means no recurring mechanical faults exist in the data, but the four-year test lapse demands a fresh examination of brake disc condition, chain tension, and exhaust integrity before road use.
