2017 Scomadi Turismo 0.1L Petrol · LG17 CXR

The vehicle is currently in an unroadworthy state following a significantly worsening maintenance trend. While the motorcycle passed inspections consistently between 2022 and 2024, the most recent test on May 28, 2025 at 3,481 miles revealed critical failures. The transition from a clean record to severe front brake grabbing and a stiff steering headbearing indicates that mechanical components are degrading rapidly despite the low usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, covering only 3,481 miles total. This averages to approximately 387 miles per year, suggesting the bike has spent long periods stationary. The data shows a gap of 567 miles between March 2022 and February 2023, followed by only 406 miles covered before the March 2024 tests. This pattern of inactivity often correlates with the mechanical failure of seals, bearings, and seized metal surfaces now evident in the latest MOT results. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, as the 2025 test flagged heavy corrosion to the underside and a broken-up centre stand. These issues suggest that long-term storage in a damp environment has compromised the metalwork. Furthermore, the front brake system requires a teardown to inspect calipers for perished seals given recurring binding faults in both March 2024 and May 2025. The steering headbearing must also be checked for notches or resistance, as the recent failure indicates internal damage or severe pitting from lack of movement.
