2020 Fantic Motor CA50 Flat Track 0.4L Petrol · FE20 FNJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward mechanical defects that require immediate attention. While the most recent test on 21 March 2025 at 3,333 miles passed, it followed a failure just three days prior. The recurring presence of a stiff or notchy steering headbearing and fluctuations in front brake effort indicates that while the bike meets the minimum legal standard, the underlying mechanical components are beginning to show signs of wear or neglect despite the low overall usage. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old motorcycle, with only a total of 3,333 miles. This averages to approximately 556 miles per year, suggesting the bike has been used sporadically or has sat stationary for long periods. There is a notable gap of 177 days between the September 2023 and March 2024 tests, during which 175 miles were recorded. Such low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid quality rather than mechanical wear and tear from high mileage. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the steering assembly to address the notchiness flagged in the 2025 tests. This issue often stems from dry or pitted bearings caused by the bike sitting without use. The front brake effort fluctuation also warrants a close look at the disc surface for corrosion or a sticking caliper, which can develop when a vehicle sits idle. Given the low mileage, check for flat spots on the tyres and perished rubber hoses, as these are common failure points for vehicles that are infrequently driven.
