The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 8,261 miles, the tester flagged recurring issues with the front tyres and rear brake pads. These faults mirror the findings from the August 2024 test, suggesting that components are only being addressed once they approach legal failure limits rather than being replaced during scheduled service intervals. At 8,261 miles over seven years, the scooter shows a very low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 1,180 miles per year. There is a significant gap in the testing record between September 2022 and August 2024, during which the vehicle covered only 1,280 miles. This low-intensity use explains the minimal wear on mechanical components, but it can also lead to degradation of rubber seals and seized parts if the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the steering and braking systems. The August 2024 record noted a stiff steering headbearing and rough offside front wheel bearings, which indicate early signs of mechanical wear despite the low mileage. The recurring failure of rear brake pads to reach the minimum limit across multiple years suggests the braking system is being run to its limit. Additionally, the offside front mudguard mounting bolts should be checked to ensure they were properly tightened as advised in the 2024 test.
