2020 Mutt FAT Sabbath 125 0.1L Petrol · EX70 MFZ

This vehicle’s MOT history presents an unusual but consistent pattern of passing and failing tests without any recorded defects, suggesting the failures stem from procedural or administrative issues rather than mechanical shortcomings. The most recent test in November 2024 at 3,974 miles passed with no advisories or defects, indicating the bike was roadworthy at that point. The lack of any technical faults across five tests—spanning from 675 miles in 2022 to 3,974 miles in 2024—implies no recurring mechanical problems have been identified by official inspection. However, the repeated failures without defects raise questions about whether the bike was consistently presented for testing in a non-operational state or if there were administrative oversights, such as missing documentation or incomplete pre-test checks. The mileage progression is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging just 662 miles per year, which is well below typical annual usage. Between November 2022 and November 2023, the bike moved from 675 to 3,220 miles—a gain of 2,545 miles over 12 months—before stagnating at around 3,974 miles by November 2024. This suggests either very light use, prolonged storage periods, or potential odometer discrepancies. The near-identical mileage between the 2024 tests (3,950 and 3,974 miles) further implies minimal movement in the months leading up to inspection, which could indicate the bike was stored or rarely ridden. Such low mileage reduces wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension, but it also means components may not have been exercised enough to reveal latent issues. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should still verify critical mechanical areas in person. While no defects have been recorded, the repeated failures without explanation warrant scrutiny of the bike’s service records to confirm whether it was genuinely unused or if tests were passed under unusual circumstances. Key areas to inspect include the chain and sprocket for wear or corrosion, given the low mileage could mask premature degradation if the bike was stored in damp conditions. The brakes should be checked for binding or uneven pad wear, as static conditions can sometimes cause caliper sticking. Suspension components, such as the rear shock absorber and linkage bushes, should be tested for stiffness or leaks, as prolonged inactivity can lead to seals drying out. Finally, the frame and subframe should be examined for any signs of stress corrosion or impact damage, particularly around mounting points, as low-mileage bikes are sometimes stored in environments that accelerate rust or structural fatigue.
