2017 Sinnis ZS 125-79 Hoodlum 0.1L Petrol · NU67 FHA

The 2017 SINNIS ZS 125‑79 HOODLUM is currently not roadworthy. The most recent MOT on 09 March 2026 at 18,175 miles failed in several critical areas: a serious fluid leak in the off‑side front shock absorber, a light misting of oil in the near‑side front shock, binding front brakes, a broken front brake lever, an empty rear brake fluid reservoir, and a bent front wheel spoke. The trend of defects is worsening; the vehicle had passed in February 2025 but failed again in March 2026 with additional, more severe faults. Mileage growth has been modest but steady. From 26 November 2021 (2,384 miles) to 18 November 2022 (5,249 miles) the car accrued 2,865 miles in 12 months. The next jump to 25 March 2024 (11,035 miles) added 5,786 miles over 16 months, then 13,890 miles in February 2025 and 18,175 miles in March 2026 added 4,285 miles in 13 months. No sudden spikes appear, but the cumulative mileage remains low for a nine‑year‑old machine, suggesting limited use but also possible long periods of inactivity that can affect components such as brakes and suspension. A prospective buyer should examine the front suspension system, especially the two shock absorbers for leaks and oil misting, and verify the integrity of the rear brake fluid reservoir. Inspect the brake levers, calipers, and discs for binding or wear, and confirm that the brake fluid levels are adequate. Check the wheel spokes for bending or looseness, and examine the headlamp aim and front stop lamp. The steering headbearing should be inspected for free play, and the drive chain for wear. Finally, look for any rust or corrosion on the chassis and verify that the rear reflector and direction indicator are present and functional. These checks will confirm whether the recurring faults have been addressed or if further remedial work is required.
