2019 UM Renegade Sport S 125 0.1L Petrol · CX69 SSU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent issue with the steering assembly. While the most recent test in October 2023 at 8,912 miles passed, it carried over advisories for slight free play in the steering headbearing and minor front brake binding. This steering issue directly followed a failure in October 2022, indicating that while the excessive wear was rectified, the underlying component was not fully resolved or replaced. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,273 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in activity between October 2022 and October 2023, where the car covered only 79 miles despite the total of 8,912 miles. Such low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, yet it increases the risk of dry seals, flat-spototted, and brake corrosion due to long periods of standing. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the steering headbearing to ensure the free play has not progressed into a mechanical failure point. The 2022 failure regarding the drive chain and sprockets suggests that the vehicle may have suffered from neglect while sitting, so the chain should be checked for rust pitting and tension issues. Additionally, the reported front brake binding in late 2023 requires a check of the caliper pistons and discs to ensure they are not seizing due to lack of use.
