2017 Mutt Mongrel 125 0.1L Petrol · SA17 FZM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a period of reactive upkeep rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in April 2024 at 7,636 miles passed with only a minor advisory for front brake pads reaching the minimum limit. This indicates a stable current state compared to the volatility seen in 2022, where the vehicle failed multiple tests for structural and mechanical defects before finally achieving a clean pass. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, with only 7,636 miles recorded, which averages to approximately 850 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the July 2021 test at 6,717 miles and the July 2022 failures, where the mileage only increased by 919 miles. This suggests the vehicle likely sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to specific mechanical issues such as seized brake calipers, perished seals, or the degradation of rubber components despite the low oometer reading. A buyer must prioritize the structural integrity of the rear section, specifically investigating the July 2022 failure regarding an inadequately repaired structure that reduced rigidity and a loose mudguard. While the vehicle passed subsequently, the recurring issues with a loose drive chain and sprocket in 2022 suggest the drivetrain maintenance was neglected during periods of inactivity. Physical inspection should also check for surface corrosion on the chain and within the brake discs, as low-mileage vehicles that sit frequently often suffer from oxidation that affects performance if not regularly ridden.
