2019 Hanway HS 125 Scrambler E4 0.1L Petrol · MF68 WPL

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2 March 2026 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at just 281 miles. The absence of failings across the last two tests—including the 2022 failure for headlamp alignment—suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the single 2022 fail indicates a minor oversight rather than a systemic issue. The 2026 test’s proximity to today (just four months old) ensures compliance with current UK regulations, but the extremely low mileage raises questions about the vehicle’s storage conditions and potential for neglected maintenance. The recorded mileage of 281 miles over nearly seven years—an average of around 40 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests in 2022 (both at 109 miles) and the sudden jump to 281 miles in 2026 implies prolonged periods of inactivity, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and battery health. Such low usage may also mean the vehicle has spent extended time exposed to environmental factors, increasing the risk of corrosion in critical areas such as the frame, exhaust, and wheel arches. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the headlamp assembly to confirm the 2022 alignment issue has been corrected, as improper aim can impair night-time visibility. The low mileage warrants close scrutiny of suspension components—particularly bushes and shock absorbers—for dry-rotting or perishing, as static loading can degrade elastomers faster than normal use. Examine the frame and underbody for corrosion, especially around the fuel tank, exhaust, and wheel housings, given the prolonged periods of non-use. Finally, test the battery and charging system, as extended disuse can lead to sulfation or terminal corrosion.
