2011 Qingqi QM 125 T-10R 0.1L Petrol · NX11 FFK

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a failure in the March 31 2026 test at 14,782 miles. The tester identified excessive wear and free play in the front steering headbearing alongside a deteriorated rear engine mounting. This failure represents a worsening mechanical trend regarding the steering assembly, as the headbearing has evolved from slight play and stiffness noted in 2017 to a critical defect that now requires immediate replacement. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 985 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage recorded between May 2015 at 1,578 miles and May 2016 where the mileage reached 6,974 miles. While the low mileage suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber components and internal seals, which likely contributes to the recurring issues seen in the steering and suspension hardware despite the low distance travelled. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering column because the headbearing has been a persistent fault for nine of the last eleven tests. The recent failure of the rear engine mounting also indicates that the rubber mounts may be perished or cracked due to age rather than use. Check the rear suspension pins and bushes for the wear previously flagged in 2020, and verify the rear wheel rim for the distortion noted in 2016 to ensure the structural integrity of the wheels remains intact.
