2016 Bullit Hunt 0.1L Petrol · YN16 DPU

The vehicle is currently in a state of worsening concern following a significant failure in March 2025. While the car passed previous tests, the most recent inspection reveals a critical decline in mechanical maintenance standards. The tester identified a serious fluid leak on the nearside front shock absorber alongside multiple braking failures related to low efficiency and inadequate rear brake effort. These recurring faults suggest that while the vehicle may have been stored, its safety-critical components have deteriorated significantly during its periods of inactivity. The mileage profile is highly anomalous for a ten-old vehicle, showing only 69 miles recorded as of the 2025 test. This averages to approximately seven miles per year, indicating the bike spent the vast majority of its life stationary. The drop from 1,807 miles in 2023 down to just 69 miles by 2025 confirms the vehicle is not used regularly. Such extreme low usage often leads to degradation of rubber seals, seized brake components, and fluid breakdown, which aligns with the mechanical failures observed in the MOT record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The recurring issues with brake efficiency and pedal effort between 2023 and 2025 indicate that the calipers or cylinders may be corroded due to lack of use. The failed front shock absorber requires immediate replacement as the fluid leak compromises the vehicle's handling and structural damping integrity. Additionally, the 2024 failure regarding LED headlamp aim suggests non-standard components were fitted without proper adjustment, which necessitates a check of the electrical system and lighting alignment to ensure compliance with safety standards.
