2016 Rieju Marathon 0.1L Petrol · FL66 HCF

The 2016 Rieju Marathon shows a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 29 June 2024 at 17,544 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior to that, the May 2023 pass at 17,365 miles and the June 2022 pass at 14,694 miles also carried clean sheets. The only blemishes are two administrative fails logged on 16 May 2023 at 17,364 miles and 13 June 2022 at 14,651 miles, both with no defects recorded, indicating presentation or documentation issues rather than mechanical faults. At roughly ten years old the machine has covered just 17,544 recorded miles, an average of about 1,754 miles per year. The record shows light use across the board: only 2,893 miles accrued between June 2022 and June 2024. Such low annual accumulation points to infrequent riding or extended standing periods, which on a motorcycle of this type often allows brake calipers to seize, fork seals to weep, and tyres to harden through age rather than abrasion. The sparse, clean test history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still inspect the bike in person for issues low mileage cannot conceal. Check the front and rear brake calipers for binding after standing, and confirm the disc surfaces are free of pitting. Examine the suspension linkages and swinging-arm bushes for corrosion or play, and verify the tyres retain supple sidewalls with adequate tread despite the low wear. Given the absence of any recorded advisories on structural integrity, exhaust emissions, or drivetrain, the Marathon presents as a lightly used example with a consistent test record. The two no-defect fails suggest the vendor simply misbooked or mispresented the vehicle on those dates. A pre-purchase check of the items above will confirm the paper record matches the machine.
