2018 Mutt Mongrel 125 0.1L Petrol · DF18 MKZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in January 2026 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a clear improvement phase after a period of recurring mechanical failures in 2024 and 2025. While the vehicle suffered from multiple failures related to the suspension and lighting, the most recent test at zero mileage indicates that the previously flagged issues have been addressed, though the lack of mileage since those repairs suggests the components have not been thoroughly tested under load. The mileage profile is highly anomalous for an eight-year-old vehicle, sitting at zero recorded miles as of the January 2026 test. The data shows a significant gap of 4,641 miles between January 2024 and January 2025, followed by a total cessation of use between the start of 2025 and early 2026. This pattern suggests the vehicle has spent long periods stationary or has been used very sparingly, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear assembly, as the history shows persistent issues with the rear suspension arm pins, bushes, and the central swing arm. The tester flagged side-to-side movement in the swing arm in 2024 and worn bushes in early 2025, indicating a potential weakness in the rear subframe area. The front brake hose noted as excessively chafed in 2024 should be inspected for cracking or structural failure, as long periods of standing can cause rubber perish. Additionally, the loose fuel tank reported in 2025 must be verified to ensure the mounting brackets are properly secured and not corroded.
