2021 SYM JET 14 50 E5 0.0L Petrol · LG71 AVF

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status but the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening regarding braking system wear. While the scooter passed its September 2025 MOT test at 5,099 miles, the tester identified two advisories that were absent in the previous year. Specifically, the front brake pads were nearing the minimum legal limit and the front brake lever was noted as short, indicating that the friction components are now reaching the end of their service life. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,020 miles per year. Between the September 2024 test at 3,151 miles and the September 2025 test at 5,099 miles, the vehicle covered only 1,948 miles. This low usage suggests the scooter has seen minimal mechanical stress, though low-mileage vehicles often suffer from flat spotting on tyres or degradation of rubber-based components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the front braking assembly during a physical evaluation. Given the recent advisory regarding thin pads and a short lever, a full replacement is likely required, alongside a check for disc scoring or thinning on the brake rotor. Because the mileage is so low, the inspector should also look for signs of fluid leaks or perished seals in the brake calipers, which can occur through age-related degradation regardless of the distance travelled.
