2014 Qingqi QM 0.1L Petrol · NX14 DCE

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently questionable as the maintenance history indicates a period of significant neglect followed by reactive repairs. While it passed its most recent test in October 2021 at 18,513 miles, this followed a major failure just one month prior. The trend suggests that the vehicle was only serviced when forced by legal requirements rather than through a consistent preventative schedule, and the lack of recorded tests in the subsequent five years leaves the current state of mechanical components unknown. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,543 miles per year. There is a notable four-year gap between the October 2017 test at 16,663 miles and the September 2021 failure, during which only 1,825 miles were covered. This 패턴 suggests the motorcycle may have sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, fluid breakdown, and corrosion-related issues despite the low mechanical wear. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking system and the structural integrity. The September 2021 failure highlighted severe issues including excessive rear brake binding, severe grabbing, and significant disc wear, which persisted as a minor advisory into the October 2021 test. Furthermore, the record noted a fractured nearside rear structure on the grab handle which must be verified to ensure the repair was professional and that the frame is not compromised. Additionally, the drive chain and wheel alignment should be scrutinized, as these were previously flagged for excessive wear and incorrect settings in late 2021. Given the low mileage and likelihood of long periods of inactivity, the buyer should also check for perished tyres, leaking seals, and seized suspension components, which are common failure points for low-mileage vehicles that are not frequently used.
