AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 28 June 2025 at 7,111 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects. This followed a failure just eleven days prior at 7,057 miles, though the lack of recorded defects on that failure suggests a potential administrative error or a non-mechanical issue that was rectified immediately before the successful retest. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 790 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in recorded data between November 2021 and June 2024, during which time the car covered only 190 miles. Since the June 2024 test, the vehicle has covered 3,702 miles, indicating a recent increase in usage frequency. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, the long periods of standing can lead to degradation of rubber-based parts and internal oxidisation of braking surfaces. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage rather than wear. Check the brake calipers for seized pistons and pitted discs, as infrequent use often causes brakes to seize. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spotting, which occur when when tread depth remains high. Given the age of the vehicle, also verify the integrity of the suspension bushes and the condition of the fluid systems to ensure that the vehicle has not suffered during its extended periods of inactivity.

The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 12 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 7 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Rear Wheel bearing play so excessive that directional control is impaired (5.1.3 (a) (ii))”; “Fuel cap leaking (6.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Drive chain so loose it is likely to fail (6.1.7 (c) (ii))”.

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.
