1978 Bultaco 0.3L Petrol · XMC 120T

The vehicle’s MOT history shows a pattern of recurring mechanical and compliance issues, despite its extremely low mileage of 14 miles over 48 years. The most recent MOT on 2016-07-13 recorded a pass, but prior entries from 2015-07-04 and earlier reveal repeated defects, including misaligned wheel alignment, shock absorber misting, and missing lights. These issues persisted across multiple tests, suggesting unresolved or recurring problems. The lack of mileage growth (14 miles since at least 2013) indicates the vehicle has likely been stationary for extended periods. This raises concerns about potential degradation from inactivity, such as corrosion, seized components, or failed seals in the suspension and braking systems. While low mileage often implies lighter use, the absence of recorded driving activity here creates ambiguity about whether the vehicle has been properly maintained or stored. The trend in MOT outcomes shows no clear improvement. Issues like shock absorber misting and wheel alignment defects reappeared in multiple tests, indicating they may not have been fully addressed. The repeated failure to fit required lights also points to ongoing compliance problems. However, the 2016 pass suggests some repairs were made, though it is unclear if these resolved underlying issues.
