2019 Mutt Mongrel 125 0.1L Petrol · LF19 WDA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the mechanical history reveals a worsening trend regarding braking system maintenance. While it passed the most recent test on 10 June 2026 at 7,782 miles, this followed a significant failure just one week prior at 7,755 miles. The tester identified a front brake binding and rear brake pads worn below the 1.0mm threshold, along with pitted rear discs, indicating that critical safety components were only addressed immediately following an inspection failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,112 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between April 2024 and May 2025, where only 47 miles were recorded, followed by a surge of activity leading to the recent tests. This low mileage suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, which often correlates with the specific issues observed. The scored and pitted brake discs noted in June 2026 are typical symptoms of surface corrosion and oxidation caused by inactivity rather than high-mile wear. A buyer must personally inspect the braking assembly to ensure the front binding issue has been fully rectified and not merely lubricated to pass the test. The drive chain horseshoe locking device requires verification for correct fitting as this was a failure point in the June 2026 test. Given the low usage and long stationary periods, an inspection should also check for cracking in rubber components, perished seals, and tyre, as these parts degrade through age and exposure regardless of distance driven.
