2014 Rieju Marathon 0.1L Petrol · AY14 ADU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean inspection record over the last several years. Since the most recent test in July 2022 at 20,027 miles, the motorcycle passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and electrical issues previously identified have been addressed. This streak of clean passes suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard following a period of more erratic mechanical performance. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,669 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between July 2017 and March 2019, where the bike covered only 10 miles in nearly eighteen months. Following 2019, the usage became more consistent, averaging roughly 1,500 to 3,000 miles annually. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the risk of rubber-based component degradation or fluid contamination increases during these long periods of inactivity. A buyer should pay close attention to the components that failed during the 2019 testing period. The failure at 11,767 miles highlighted a rear wheel bearing with excessive play and a front wheel with loose fixings. Although these were rectified for subsequent tests, a physical inspection of the wheel bearings and axle bolts is necessary to ensure no new lateral play has developed. The previous report of a loose drive chain and a structural tyre failure also warrants a thorough check of chain tension and tyre sidewalls for dry rot or cracking, given the low-mileage profile.
