2021 WK Bikes Scrambler 125 0.1L Petrol · FV71 GPE

The vehicle currently sits in a state of poor roadworthiness following a failed MOT test on October 17, 2024. The record indicates a worsening trend in maintenance standards, as the tester identified multiple safety-related failures within a single inspection. While the bike has low overall mileages, the variety of faults across the drivetrain and braking systems suggests that routine preventative maintenance was neglected in favour of reacting only to component failures. At 4,983 miles over five years, the scrambler reflects an exceptionally low mileage pattern, averaging just 1,000 miles per annum. This low usage often implies the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, which can explain the degradation of rubber components such as the split fuel cap seal noted in the 2024 test. However, low mileage does not exempt a vehicle from age-related wear or the effects of oxidation on the drive chain if left untreated without proper lubrication. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the drive system, as the 2024 failure flagged the chain as worn to excess. The reported slight fluctuation in brake effort on the front wheel warrants a check of the brake disc surfaces for uneven wear or air in the hydraulic lines. The noted wheel misalignment also indicates that the front-end geometry or steering head bearings may require professional adjustment to ensure the bike tracks straight. Additionally, the missing rear reflector must be replaced and the fuel cap seal renewed to meet legal requirements for the next test.
