2017 SYM AV 0.0L Petrol · PJ17 EUU

The 2017 SYM AV presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 June 2025 at 11,433 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in July 2024 at 10,626 miles and June 2023 at 7,630 miles also passed clean. The single failure logged on 30 June 2023 at 7,630 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven stop, and the vehicle was subsequently passed the same day. Mileage sits low for a nine-year-old machine. The record shows roughly 1,270 miles covered per year, with the largest single jump being 2,996 miles between the June 2023 test at 7,630 miles and the July 2024 test at 10,626 miles. Prior to that, the bike stood largely unused between its 2023 and earlier unrecorded periods. Such low annual use over nine years suggests extended standing, which commonly allows tyre sidewall cracking, seized brake calipers, and degraded suspension bushes to develop even where the MOT shows no advisories. A buyer should physically inspect the front and rear brake calipers for binding or seizure given the long idle periods, and check the fork seals and rear shock for weepage or perished rubber. Standing moisture exposure raises the risk of hidden corrosion on the frame and exhaust, though the MOT history flags none. Tyres must be examined for flat spotting and age-related hardening irrespective of remaining tread, since the 2023 to 2024 layup and low overall mileage mean original or aged rubber may still be fitted. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the record, but the clean history reflects test outcomes only and does not substitute for a hands-on check of consumables and structural integrity.
