BETAMOTOR ALP 4T2012 · 0.2L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 15 August 2025 resulted in a pass at 4,690 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2023, suggesting the bike has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 14 year old machine, averaging roughly 335 miles per year. Between 19 May 2023 and 17 May 2024, the odometer increased by only 225 miles. A further 686 miles were covered between May 2024 and August 2025. Such low usage often indicates a vehicle that has spent significant time stationary, which can be as detrimental as high mileage if not managed with proper storage and fluid maintenance. A physical inspection should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. The buyer must check for perished rubber seals, cracked tyres, and fuel system gumming caused by long periods of inactivity. Because the MOT records show no advisories for brake discs or calipers, the buyer should manually verify that the brakes are not seizing or binding due to lack of use. Attention should also be paid to the chain and sprockets for surface corrosion and the general state of the battery. While the DVSA record is clean, the lack of flagged defects over the last three years does not guarantee that the oil has been changed regularly. Verifying the service history for oil and filter intervals is essential given the low annual mileage.
