2020 Motorini Misano 50 0.1L Petrol · HG20 BYM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 11 March 2026 at 8,216 miles resulted in a pass following a minor failure for the registration plate lamp. This follows a much more significant failure in July 2025 where multiple mechanical and electrical defects were identified, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults when they prevent a successful MOT pass. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old scooter, averaging approximately 1,369 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between the July 2024 test at 3,282 miles and the July 2025 test at 8,215 miles, where the vehicle covered half its lifetime mileage. This suggests it may have sat for extended periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seized seals, and internal corrosion due to lack of use. A buyer must inspect the front suspension specifically, as the July 2025 record flagged a serious fluid leak on the offside front shock absorber. Although this was rectified for the subsequent pass, the component should be checked for signs of residual oil or perished seals. The braking system also requires scrutiny; the rear inner brake pads were measured at below the legal limit of 1.0mm in 2025, necessitating verification that these have been replaced and that the calipers are not binding or corroded. Electrical reliability remains a recurring issue, with the registration plate lamp failing in two consecutive years. This persistent minor fault often points to poor wiring or aging bulbs that are ignored until an inspection. Given the low mileage, a physical check of the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking is also essential, as these components age regardless of the distance driven.
