2017 Motorini GP 125i 0.1L Petrol · FV67 LRY

The most recent MOT test on this 2017 GP 125i, conducted just six months ago on 19 November 2025, confirms it passed without any defects recorded. While the history includes two consecutive failures in May 2023—both at the same mileage of 13,849—these were resolved before the subsequent tests in September 2024 and November 2025, which passed cleanly. The absence of recurring advisories or repeated failures in the intervening period suggests the vehicle has been reliably maintained since the 2023 issues. However, the double failure in 2023 warrants scrutiny, as it indicates a temporary but resolved mechanical concern that may not have been fully addressed or could have been a one-off anomaly. The recorded mileage of 9,448 miles at the latest test reflects exceptionally low usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging just over 1,000 miles annually. This pattern is notable when compared to the previous test in September 2024, where the mileage had only increased by 409 miles over five months—a rate of roughly 82 miles per month. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests, spanning nearly a year with no mileage progression, suggests prolonged inactivity. While low mileage generally implies less wear on high-stress components like suspension bushes or brake calipers, it also raises questions about storage conditions, potential corrosion from moisture, or neglect of fluid changes (e.g., brake fluid, coolant) during periods of disuse. Given the clean MOT history since 2023, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear suspension components, as the double failure in 2023 often points to issues like worn rear suspension bushes or coil springs. The brakes, while not explicitly flagged in recent tests, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle was stored for extended periods. Corrosion is another critical factor; low mileage combined with potential standing periods increases the risk of rust on underbody components, wheel arches, and subframes. Finally, verify that all fluid levels—brake, engine oil, coolant, and transmission fluid—have been recently serviced, as stagnant fluids degrade over time even with minimal use.
