2019 Mutt Mongrel 125 0.1L Petrol · PE19 HGG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on March 24, 2026, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in mechanical oversight. While the bike passed its most recent test, the failure on the same day at 4,328 miles revealed significant issues with the front steering headbearing and the rear drive chain. The fact that these faults were rectified immediately after the pass suggests that essential maintenance was neglected prior to the inspection date. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 618 miles per year. Between the March 2025 test at 2,544 miles and the March 2026 test at 4,328 miles, the motorcycle covered only 1,784 miles. This low usage often indicates long periods of inactivity, which can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, seized seals, or dry-rotted tyres, despite the low overall mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must perform a physical inspection of the steering assembly to ensure the excessive play noted in the headbearing has been properly replaced rather than merely adjusted. The drive chain is also a recurring concern, having been flagged as slightly loose in 2025 and failing as excessively loose in 2026. Verify the chain tension and sprocket wear to ensure the system has not stretched beyond limit from sitting. Given the low mileage, check the brake discs for corrosion and the tyres for pitting, which frequently occur when a vehicle remains stationary for extended periods.
