2022 NIU Nqi GT PRO Cargo Electric · GK22 WLW

A single front‑brake advisory dominates the MOT picture; the 28 July 2026 test recorded a pass but noted a slightly twisted front brake hose and a minor fluctuation in brake effort, while the earlier 11 August 2025 test was clean. With only two recorded examinations and no outright failures, the vehicle’s roadworthiness history is essentially unblemished apart from that modest brake‑system note, suggesting a stable trend rather than a deteriorating one. The odometer reads 14 235 miles on a 2022 model, equating to roughly 3 500 miles per year—a low annual accumulation for a four‑year‑old scooter. Such limited use generally reduces wear on consumables such as brake pads, tyres and suspension bushings, yet it also means that components may have spent extended periods idle, which can affect rubber and sealing elements. The MOT dates show regular yearly testing with no mileage gaps, confirming that the recorded miles are the only usage evidence available. When inspecting the front brake assembly, focus on the hose identified as slightly twisted; verify that the hose is free of cracks, bulges or fluid seepage and that the routing does not allow it to rub against the fork or frame. During a test drive, apply the front brake smoothly from a moderate speed and note any pulsation, uneven pedal feel or a softening of braking pressure that could indicate internal hose deformation or a marginal master‑cylinder issue. Listen for any hissing or squealing that might betray a leak or air ingress, and feel for any vibration transmitted through the handlebar when braking. Beyond the brake system, a comprehensive pre‑purchase check should still cover tyre tread depth, sidewall condition, suspension integrity and battery health, as these items are not reflected in the MOT record. Given the low mileage, ensure that the tyre wear pattern is even and that the suspension springs and bushes show no signs of corrosion or excessive play. A full mechanical inspection by a qualified technician will confirm that the minor front‑brake advisory has not progressed and that the scooter’s overall condition matches its modest usage profile.
