1989 MZ ETZ250 0.2L Petrol · F149 CWW

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on its MOT history, though it has not been tested for nearly four years. The last recorded test on 10 August 2022 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This clean record extends back through the 2019 and 2018 tests, suggesting a vehicle that has historically met minimum roadworthiness standards without recurring mechanical failures. Mileage data is insufficient to establish a reliable usage pattern. A reading of 31,226 miles was recorded on 26 October 2013, but the entry on 29 August 2019 shows only 186 miles. This discrepancy suggests either a speedometer failure, a clock reset, or a chassis swap between 2013 and 2019. The lack of mileage data in the most recent 2022 test makes it impossible to determine the current wear levels of the engine or drivetrain. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and rubber components. The four-year gap since the last MOT means the bike has likely sat dormant, which often leads to perished tyres, seized brake calipers, and degraded fuel lines. Check for corrosion on the frame and swingarm, as the records do not account for the environment in which the bike was stored during its period of inactivity. Verify the condition of the two-stroke engine and exhaust system. Since the MOT history is devoid of advisories, there is no data on the state of the suspension bushes or coil springs. Focus on checking for oil leaks and ensuring the electrical system is functional, as these are common failure points for an MZ of this vintage that has spent significant time off the road.
