2012 Generic Worx 0.1L Petrol · RX12 EOE

The 2012 Generic Worx currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 29 March 2023 at 5,610 miles, meaning the certificate expired over three years ago on 28 March 2026. The vehicle is effectively untested and unroadworthy for sale in its current state. The maintenance trend across the two most recent tests shows partial resolution of some faults but persistent brake concerns. The tester flagged a slightly grabbing front brake and a worn, pitted front disc in both the failed and passed tests, indicating the issue was noted but not fully remedied before the retest. The excessively loose drive chain and below-minimum rear tyre tread that caused the 27 March failure were addressed for the 29 March pass, suggesting reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The recorded mileage of 5,610 miles across approximately 14 years averages roughly 401 miles per year, which is exceptionally low. The MOT history shows only 36 miles accumulated between the 27 March and 29 March 2023 tests, and no further mileage has been recorded since. This pattern points to either very light use or prolonged periods of inactivity. Such low annual mileage can mask deterioration in rubber components, seals, and brake surfaces due to age-related degradation rather than wear. A buyer should treat the front braking system as a priority inspection. The recurring advisory for a grabbing front brake and a worn, pitted disc suggests a sticking caliper, collapsed brake hose, or uneven pad deposition that may have worsened during the three years since the last test. The drive chain, noted as slightly tight at the most recent pass, requires careful measurement for correct free play and lubrication, as a tight chain accelerates sprocket and countershaft bearing wear. Given the vehicle has stood for an extended period, a thorough inspection of all rubber bushes, tyre sidewalls, and fuel system components for perishing and dry rot is essential before any road use.
