2019 Fantic Motor FC 12 Scrambler 0.1L Petrol · DC19 DLF

The 2019 Fantic Motor FC 12 Scrambler presents a stable mechanical profile based on the available records. In the September 2025 test at 175 miles, the motorcycle passed with zero defects recorded, indicating no immediate structural or mechanical failures. This single clean pass confirms the vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards, though the extreme mileage sparsity limits the depth of trend analysis. The recorded mileage of 175 miles translates to an average of just 25 miles per year over seven years. Such minimal accumulation points to prolonged periods of standing rather than regular use. The most recent MOT in September 2025 recorded the exact same 175 miles, confirming the bike has remained stationary since that test date. Motorcycles subjected to such low mileage often suffer from deteriorated consumables like perished tyres, dried-out suspension bushes, or corroded brake components due to inactivity, rather than wear from riding. Despite the clean MOT, a physical inspection must focus on components vulnerable to prolonged static storage. Examine the tyres closely for sidewall cracking and flat spots, as rubber degrades with age regardless of tread depth. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and inspect the calipers for seized pistons, as infrequent use frequently leads to binding. Suspension linkages and swingarm pivots require scrutiny for dried grease and rust, which can compromise structural integrity. Assess the exhaust system and fuel tank for internal corrosion, a common issue on rarely ridden machines.
