2017 Jianshe JS 125-32 0.1L Petrol · N50 DTS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent test in January 2024, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the bike passed the MOT at 9,731 miles, the failure recorded just two days prior at 9,661 miles revealed multiple critical mechanical defects. The resolution of the serious shock absorber leak and the damaged valve stem between the failure and the pass suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults once they directly threatened the legal test result. At 9,731 miles over nine years, the motorcycle shows an exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 1,081 miles per year. This low usage suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components such as seals and tyres. The significant gap between the January 2024 test and the current June 2026 date means the vehicle has not been officially inspected for over two years, leaving the current state of the exhaust and suspension components unverified by the tester. A buyer must perform a physical inspection of the offside front shock absorber to ensure the previous leak was fully rectified and that no further weeping exists. The recurring issue of a noisy exhaust, noted in both the January 2024 failure and pass, indicates internal baffle damage or a loose mounting bracket that requires closer attention. Given the low mileage and age of the bike, the tyres should be checked for dry rotting or sidewalling, as age-related decay often precedes tread wear on stationary vehicles.
