2016 Qingqi QM 0.1L Petrol · GV16 VCE

The vehicle presents a stable but currently unverified mechanical condition, with the most recent MOT test occurring on 9 November 2022 at 12,858 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable historically, though the current status is uncertain due to the elapsed time since the last test. The 2022 test passed with a minor advisory regarding both rear footrests failing to fold out, indicating a localized mechanical fault rather than a systemic failure. No serious structural or mechanical defects were recorded at that time. The mileage accumulation pattern is exceptionally low, averaging roughly 1,286 miles per year over its lifespan. Between November 2020 and November 2021, the machine covered 3,439 miles, demonstrating active use during that period. However, the recorded mileage has remained static at 12,858 miles since the November 2022 test, suggesting the vehicle has been standing unused for nearly four years. Prolonged inactivity introduces risks distinct from high mileage wear, such as degraded rubber components, stale fuel, and corroded brake systems. A prospective buyer must inspect the machine thoroughly for the effects of long-term storage. Tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking and flat spots, while brake calipers require examination for seized pistons due to corrosion. The fuel system demands attention for varnish or blockages from stale petrol, and the battery will almost certainly require replacement. The rear footrest pivot mechanism flagged in 2022 needs physical testing to confirm whether the folding fault has worsened or seized entirely. Suspension seals and drive components should also be scrutinized for deterioration caused by prolonged standing rather than operational wear.
