2015 Qingqi QM 0.1L Petrol · CX65 ODR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of intermittent neglect followed by reactive repairs. The most recent test on 29 July 2025 at 7,453 miles passed after a failure for high headlamp aim and a slightly worn swinging arm bush. While the vehicle met the minimum standard, the history of multiple mechanical and electrical failures in previous years suggests that issues are only addressed when necessitated by an MOT failure rather than through a proactive service schedule. The mileage profile is highly irregular for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, with only 7,453 miles recorded as of July 2025. There is a significant discrepancy between the November 2023 record of 18,902 miles and the July 2025 record of 7,453 miles, indicating a potential odometer rollback or a serious clerical error. This low average annual mileage suggests the bike may have sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and flat-spotted tyres despite low overall mechanical wear. A buyer must personally inspect the suspension and steering components closely, as these have shown recurring issues. The steering headbearing was noted as stiff or notchy in 2022, and the forks were reported as twisted during that same period. The rear swinging arm bush appeared as worn in both 2022 and 2025, indicating a persistent wear pattern that requires monitoring. Given the 2022 failure for rear brake pads below the 1.0mm limit and extremely low oil levels, the buyer should verify the fluid levels and the condition of the braking system to ensure the engine has not suffered internal damage from previous lubrication neglect.
