1986 Moto Morini Kanguro 350 0.3L Petrol · C918 LBW

The mechanical record for this vehicle is characterized by a recent resolution of basic electrical defects, culminating in a clean pass on 15 September 2025. A failure earlier that year in May was attributed to a non-functional horn and the absence of lighting equipment, both of which were addressed to achieve the subsequent clean test. This indicates that the vehicle's current roadworthiness is stable, with no structural or major mechanical defects recorded in the most recent inspection cycle. An average annual accumulation of approximately 633 miles over four decades results in a total of 25,337 miles, which is notably low for a vehicle of this vintage. While this suggests limited wear on the internal engine components and drivetrain, such a usage profile often correlates with periods of prolonged inactivity. This typically necessitates a closer inspection of rubber seals, fuel lines, and cable lubrication to ensure that lack of use has not led to degradation or seizure of moving parts. Inspection should focus on the electrical system to ensure the previously failed horn and lighting circuits are now fully operational and securely fitted. Given the age of the machine, a physical check for oil misting around the engine casings and signs of corrosion on the frame or fasteners is essential. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the brake lines and suspension bushes to ensure they remain pliable and effective. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any irregular mechanical knocks or vibrations that could indicate wear in the drivetrain or engine mounts. The operation of the controls should be smooth, without binding or stiffness in the cables. Any hesitation in the engine response or instability during low-speed maneuvers should be noted, as these can be symptoms of a vehicle that has spent significant time stationary.
