2018 Bajaj Unknown 0.2L Petrol · MX68 HOJ

Recurring windscreen washer failures dominate the MOT record, with the system flagged in both 2022 and 2025 and a near‑side front headlamp fault recorded in 2024. Apart from these intermittent electrical issues, the vehicle has consistently passed its annual tests, the latest being a clean pass on 20 August 2025 following a re‑test that resolved the washer fault the day before. The pattern suggests a specific, repeatable weakness in the washer pump or associated wiring rather than a broader deterioration of the chassis or drivetrain. At just 1,920 mi after eight years on the road the annual average is roughly 240 mi, indicating very light use or extended periods of inactivity. Such low mileage reduces wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch plates and tyre tread, but it also means that rubber components, seals and electrical contacts have aged without the benefit of regular motion. The regular, yearly MOTs show no gaps, so any age‑related degradation is likely to be gradual rather than the result of missed inspections. When inspecting the vehicle, verify that the windscreen washer operates on demand, delivering a steady spray without hesitation; listen for any abnormal pump whine and check the reservoir for signs of leakage or corrosion around the pump mounting. Confirm that the near‑side front headlamp illuminates correctly on dipped beam and that the bulb, socket and wiring harness are free of corrosion or loose connections, as intermittent lighting can stem from a failing bulb or a compromised connector. Any dashboard warning related to washer or lighting circuits should be investigated before purchase. Given the vehicle’s age despite its low mileage, a thorough visual and tactile check of tyres for cracking, brake discs for surface rust, and suspension bushes for hardening is advisable. Test the steering for any play and listen for knocks over bumps, which can reveal hidden wear in the suspension arms or bushings that may not have been captured by the MOT. Ensuring all lights, washers and age‑sensitive components function reliably will provide a clearer picture of the bike’s roadworthiness before committing to a purchase.
