2009 Qingqi QM 125-2D Stealth 0.1L Petrol · GX59 HWH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status but shows a history of recurring minor defects that require ongoing attention. The most recent test in July 2023 at 12,992 miles passed, yet carried advisories for oil misting on both front shock absorbers and a loose drive chain. These specific issues mirror faults found in the 2022 tests, indicating that while the components are not yet failing, they are in a state of gradual wear that remains monitored rather than rectified. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 764 miles per year. There is a significant four-year gap in records between the June 2019 and July 2023 tests, during which the vehicle covered only 815 miles. This infrequent usage suggests the bike sits stationary for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and internal corrosion, as evidenced by the notchy steering movement and wheel bearing issues noted in the earlier 2015 inspection. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension assembly closely, as the persistent misting of oil recorded across 2022 and 2023 suggests the shock seals are nearing the end of their effectiveness. The braking system requires a thorough check; the history shows past failures for insufficient travel and advisories for fluctuating effort, which could point to aged brake fluid or worn master cylinders. Additionally, given the low mileage and long storage periods, the drive chain should be inspected for rust and tension, and the wheel bearings tested for play to ensure they have not seized from lack of use.
