Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
When viewing this Mutt Mongrel, your primary focus should be on the recent repairs made following the June 2025 failure. Specifically, ask for evidence that the rear wheel bearings and the drive chain/sprocket assembly were replaced, as these were critical failure points.
Check the fuel cap closely to ensure the leak noted in 2025 has been fully rectified. Given the small engine size (125cc), ensure the drive chain is properly tensioned and lubricated, as the 2025 records show it was previously noted as being excessively loose and worn.
As a 125cc petrol machine, running costs are expected to be relatively low. This vehicle is likely to fall into a low insurance group and a favourable tax band, making it an economical choice for urban commuting.
Maintenance costs for small-capacity motorcycles are typically modest, but you should budget for regular chain maintenance (cleaning and lubrication) and periodic replacement of consumables like brake pads and tyres. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, are estimated to be manageable.
A physical inspection of the drive system is essential. Based on the 2025 MOT history, check the drive chain for any signs of excessive slack or uneven wear, and inspect the sprockets for 'hooked' teeth. The rear wheel assembly must be checked for any lateral play; the 2025 failure specifically cited excessive bearing play that could impair directional control.
Additionally, test the rear brake for any signs of binding. The MOT history shows binding issues were present in 2024 and 2025. Finally, verify the integrity of the fuel cap to ensure the leakage issue recorded in 2025 has been permanently resolved.
This 2017 Mutt Mongrel 125 in green has covered 10,691 miles since its first registration in November 2017. The vehicle's MOT history shows a period of concern in mid-2025, where it failed on multiple items including a leaking fuel cap and excessive rear wheel bearing play. Although the 2026 MOT was passed without defects, the previous pattern of wear on the drive chain and braking components remains a point of interest.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Mutt Mongrel 125 model to provide a broader statistical context.
