2016 WK Bikes RT 0.1L Petrol · CX66 SOC

An exceptionally low usage profile defines this vehicle, with only one recorded MOT test on 23 November 2021 showing a pass alongside specific advisories. The mechanical record is sparse, consisting of a single inspection that flagged a deteriorating rear registration plate and slight play in a rear wheel bearing. While the most recent result was a pass, the presence of the wheel bearing advisory indicates the beginning of component wear that warrants close inspection. The recorded mileage of 1,724 miles over a ten-year period represents an average of approximately 172 miles per year, which is significantly lower than standard UK driving patterns. Such minimal accumulation suggests the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary or has been used only for very infrequent, short-distance trips. Mechanically, this pattern means that while drivetrain and engine wear from mileage may be minimal, the vehicle has likely been subject to the effects of long-term standing, which can impact rubber seals, fluid degradation, and the movement of braking components. A test drive should prioritise the investigation of the rear wheel bearing that was flagged with slight play. Listen for any low-frequency humming, droning, or grinding noises emanating from the rear of the vehicle, particularly as speed increases. Additionally, pay close attention to any changes in the sound or vibration felt through the chassis when cornering, as this can indicate if the play in the bearing has progressed into a more significant mechanical fault. The advisory regarding the deteriorated rear registration plate should also be verified to ensure it meets current legal visibility requirements. Given the extremely low mileage and the likelihood of long periods of inactivity, it is also necessary to check for any signs of seized brake calipers or uneven brake disc wear, which are common when a vehicle is not driven regularly enough to clear debris and maintain heat cycles within the braking system.
