2017 Motorini Bomber 0.1L Petrol · GD66 XFB

The vehicle is currently out of MOT, as the last certificate expired in January 2026. The maintenance trend shows a decline in roadworthiness over the last three years. While the 2025-01-23 test at 22,762 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged a minor exhaust gas leak and a worn rear suspension arm ball joint. These advisories, combined with a failure for headlamp aim on the same day, suggest a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a preventative one. The mileage record is inconsistent and suggests data entry errors or odometer tampering. The vehicle showed 26,626 miles during the 2024-01-06 test, yet the subsequent test on 2025-01-23 recorded a lower figure of 22,762 miles. This discrepancy of nearly 4,000 miles is a significant red flag. Excluding this anomaly, the overall usage remains low for a nine year old vehicle, which often increases the risk of perished rubber components and seized linkages due to inactivity. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension and exhaust system. The recurring issue with the rear suspension arm ball joint and the 2019-12-18 failure for a stiff steering headbearing indicate potential wear in the chassis pivot points. The exhaust leak noted in January 2025 requires verification to ensure it has been repaired and is not a symptom of deeper corrosion in the manifold or piping. The history of failing on tyre tread in January 2024 and fuel cap effectiveness across multiple years suggests a lack of attention to basic consumables. You should check the current state of all tyres and the integrity of the fuel system. Given the mileage contradiction, a full verification of the odometer and service history is essential before purchase.
