2017 SYM JET 4 125 E4 0.1L Petrol · FL67 VRO

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness status, as the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test recorded in November 2021 at 15,362 miles identified several mechanical-related defects that were absent in the previous year. While the scooter passed, the presence of a binding front brake and a worn disc suggests that critical components were being neglected and only addressed once they reached a point of failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old scooter, averaging approximately 1,700 miles annually. Between the November 2020 test at 12,079 miles and the November 2021 test at 15,362 miles, the vehicle covered only 3,283 miles. This infrequent use suggests long stationary periods which often lead to degradation of rubber-based components, perished seals, and flat spots on tyres despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the 2021 record flagged both a binding front caliper and a worn disc. These issues often indicate a sticking piston or a seized slider. The bent brake lever noted during that same test suggests a previous impact or fall, which warrants a check for hairline cracks in the lever assembly or fluid reservoir. Given the low mileage, the age of the tyres and brake fluid is a primary concern, as these materials degrade over time regardless of tread depth.
