2011 Rieju MRT 450 Marathon 0.4L Petrol · OU11 AFZ

The RIEJU MRT 450 Marathon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 March 2025 at 782 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean outcomes of every prior examination. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, so the vehicle shows no worsening or recurring defect pattern across its recorded life. The mileage record reveals extremely low use for a 2011 machine. It covered just 537 miles by September 2014, then only 18 miles between October 2021 and December 2022, and 24 miles up to the April 2024 test at 758 miles. A final 24-mile gain brought it to 782 miles by March 2025. The sparse entries show long standing periods, notably the gap between the 2014 and 2021 tests, with annual averages near 52 miles. Such minimal running means consumable wear is negligible, but extended dormancy raises different concerns. A buyer should still inspect the motorcycle in person for issues the MOT cannot capture on a low-mileage standing machine. Check suspension bushes, fork seals, and coil springs for perishing or corrosion from inactivity. Brake calipers may bind after years without use; confirm disc condition and fluid integrity. Examine the exhaust, frame, and welds for structural rust where moisture settled during storage. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current and avoided mechanical neglect. With no failed tests or advisories, the evidence points to careful, if minimal, use rather than deferred maintenance.
