On any folder, keeping the latch mechanism adjusted and lubed will greatly prolong the useful life of the bike. A sloppy fit (and no lubrication) just increases wear, and thus failure in most mechanical devices.
FYI: 230 is the MAX rider weight on most folders, and might eventually induce other failures.
