2020 Peugeot Speedfight 4 125 LC Sportline 0.1L Petrol · AV20 TZP

The most recent MOT conducted in September 2025 resulted in a pass, but the overall maintenance trend is concerning as it shows a progression of wear-related advisories. While the vehicle has cleared its recent tests, the history reveals a pattern of recurring issues, particularly regarding the braking system and tyre condition. The presence of multiple advisories in the latest test, following previous failures and advisories in 2024, suggests that maintenance has been reactive rather than proactive, with components being monitored but not necessarily replaced before reaching critical thresholds. With a recorded mileage of 11,519 miles over approximately six years, this vehicle has covered an average of only 1,920 miles per year. This is exceptionally low usage for a scooter of this age. While low mileage typically implies less mechanical wear on the engine and transmission, such infrequent use often carries specific risks associated with long periods of standing. Vehicles that sit idle for extended durations are prone to moisture ingress, fluid degradation, and the drying out of rubber seals and gaskets, which can lead to unexpected leaks or component failure when the vehicle is eventually used more regularly. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system during a test drive. The recurring advisory regarding the short rear brake lever is a significant point of interest; you should check for any sponginess in the lever or a lack of consistent braking pressure, which could indicate air in the lines or a failing master cylinder. Furthermore, the history of pitted and scored brake discs, combined with the recent advisory for uneven front tyre wear, suggests you must inspect the front end for any signs of misalignment or worn suspension bushes. Listen for any clunks or wobbles when riding over uneven surfaces, as uneven tyre wear is often a symptom of geometry issues or component play. Given the low annual mileage, a thorough physical inspection is essential to mitigate the risks of long-term storage. Inspect the tyres closely for sidewall cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades with age regardless of tread depth. Check the battery's ability to hold a charge, as low-use vehicles often suffer from sulphation. Additionally, examine the brake calipers for signs of binding or corrosion, which is common when a vehicle is not regularly ridden to clear moisture from the discs. Finally, verify the service history to ensure that oil and brake fluid changes have been performed based on the calendar year rather than just mileage, as these fluids degrade over time even if the vehicle is rarely used.
