2019 Ariic JL 125 T-3 0.1L Petrol · GU69 UMB

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a clean record to emerging mechanical wear. In the July 2024 test at 19,256 miles, the car passed despite flags for unevenly worn rear brake pads and a noisy exhaust. These findings suggest that while the vehicle is legal for the road, it is beginning to require attention on components that were not de-registered during the previous test. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,751 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of time between the November 2022 test at 15,121 miles and the July 2024 test, during which the car covered only 4,135 miles. While low mileage generally preserves the drivetrain, such long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seized calipers, and corroded surfaces due to lack of regular use. A buyer must physically inspect the braking system to determine if the uneven wear on the rear pads is caused by a binding caliper or a faulty slide pin. The noisy exhaust noted in 2024 warrants a check for loose clamps, perished internal baffling, or mounting bracket corrosion that may have developed during stationary periods. Given the low usage, the inspection should also account for flat spots on tyres and age cracking in suspension bushings which often affect vehicles that remain stationary for extended durations.
