2021 SYM Symphony 125 SR E4 0.1L Petrol · GK71 VMZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals an inconsistent approach to addressing mechanical faults. The most recent test on 12 November 2025 at 19,630 miles showed a pass following an initial failure for low headlamp aim. While the headlamp issue was rectified, the persistent flagging of brake effort fluctuations on both the front and rear systems across the last two tests suggests a recurring issue that the previous owner has only managed rather than fully resolve. At 19,630 miles over five years, the scooter has averaged approximately 3,900 miles per year, which is relatively low for an urban commuter. The gap between the September 2024 test and November 2025 test shows an accumulation of 2,961 miles in fourteen months, indicating consistent but light usage. This low mileage generally suggests less wear on drivetrain components, though it can sometimes lead to tyre flat spotting or corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between rides. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system due to the repeated fluctuation advisories. The failure in September 2024 specifically highlighted a missing retaining nut on the front brake caliper, which is a significant safety oversight indicating poor assembly checks. You should inspect the brake discs for thinning or warping and ensure the caliper pistons move freely without binding. Additionally, the rear tyre depth should be measured, as it was already near the legal limit in 2024 and likely requires replacement given the further 3,000 miles travelled since then.
