2011 Genata GT250L-RE 0.2L Petrol · LF11 AHC

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. While it passed the test on 26 October 2022 at 860 miles, this followed a significant failure just sixteen days prior due to multiple critical safety-related defects. The maintenance trend suggests a reactive approach rather than proactive upkeep, as several faults were only addressed immediately following the failure. Given that no tests are recorded for nearly four years, the vehicle is currently out of its MOT. The recorded mileage of 860 miles for a fifteen-year-old vehicle is exceptionally low, averaging fewer than 60 miles per year. This extreme low usage indicates the bike has sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components. The October 2022 failure confirmed this, noting that all four tyres showed cracking or perishing, a classic symptom of age-related dry rot rather than tread-related wear. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and steering assembly. The 2022 failure flagged issues with both front suspension arm ball joint dust covers and the track rod end ball joint, alongside play in the nearside front wheel bearing. Although these were supposedly rectified for the pass, the low-mileage nature often results in seized brake calipers or perished seals. The buyer should also verify the condition of the electrical system and fuel components, as the previous failure of the stop lamps and an insecure battery points to potential neglect or corrosion during long-term storage.
