2021 NIU Mqi + Sport Electric · GD70 JSY

With only two MOT tests on file and both recorded as clean passes with no defects or advisories, the DVSA record on this 2021 NIU MQi+ presents a sparse but unblemished roadworthiness history. The most recent test on 9 July 2025 returned a pass with no entries, and the prior test on 8 May 2024 was equally clean. Two passes without a single advisory is a positive baseline, but it must be read in proportion to the limited volume of evidence. With only two data points covering the vehicle from its fourth to fifth year, there is insufficient MOT data to identify any chronic component wear trends, recurring advisories, or developing deterioration patterns. The absence of advisories so far simply means that at the two inspections recorded, no defects rose to the level of advisory recording. Against an age of approximately five years, the recorded mileage of 1,549 miles equates to an annual accumulation of roughly 310 miles, which is exceptionally low. There is a fifteen-month gap between the two recorded tests, and mileage progression between those visits is not disclosed in the MOT record itself, so any apparent consistency or jump cannot be verified from the data available. Low annual mileage of this order is more consistent with occasional or leisure use rather than regular commuting, and mechanically this carries particular implications. Brake discs and pads can suffer from surface corrosion and reduced braking efficiency through lack of regular use, suspension components and linkages can develop stiffness in their bushes, and tyre rubber can age and crack even where tread depth remains adequate. For an electric scooter of this type, prolonged standing periods also raise considerations around battery state management and the condition of electrical connections and driveline components. On a physical inspection, the brake system should be the priority given the low usage. Check the discs for any lipping or significant surface rust, particularly on the edges, and assess the pads for glazing or uneven wear that would suggest the brakes have not been working through their bedding cycle regularly. Both front and rear brake levers should be tested for firm, progressive bite without sponginess, and the scooter should be pushed to confirm there is no binding or drag in the caliper mechanism. Tyres warrant close attention for sidewall cracking, perishing, or hardening of the rubber compound, which can occur even with adequate tread depth on a low-mileage machine. Electrical ancillaries, the battery housing, and any visible cable routing should be examined for signs of oxidation at connectors. During a test ride, listen for any knocks or clonks from the front end over uneven surfaces, which could indicate stiffened or degraded suspension bushes, and pay attention to whether the steering returns smoothly to centre without notchiness. The throttle response should be smooth and progressive without any hesitation, surging, or intermittent cut-outs that might suggest connector issues from extended standing periods. Braking should feel progressive from both lever and, where fitted, foot-operated controls, with no judder or pulling to one side. Given that only two MOT tests cover the life of this vehicle and no advisories have yet been raised, a prospective buyer should treat the clean record as a starting point only and concentrate the pre-purchase inspection on the typical low-mileage wear items listed above.
