2019 Neco Alex ONE 0.1L Petrol · AU69 VBC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend of deferred repairs despite the low mileage. While it passed the July 2025 test at 13,724 miles, this followed a failure just two weeks prior involving multiple critical mechanical issues. The transition from a failure with a serious front shock absorber leak and worn brake pads to a pass indicates that the owner only addresses essential faults when forced by the MOT tester, rather than following a preventative service schedule. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging under 2,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between October 2022 and June 2024, during which the bike covered only 540 miles in 20 months. Such long periods of inactivity often lead to surface corrosion and rubber degradation, which is evidenced by the perishing petrol cap seal and corroded front suspension rods noted in the most recent inspection. The data suggests the vehicle likely sat stationary for long durations rather than seeing consistent daily use. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and steering assembly thoroughly. The 2025 record flagged a stiff or notchy steering headbearing and corroded fork stantions, which can compromise handling and lead to seal failure if not replaced. The rear engine mounting also showed excessive movement in the July 2025 failure; the buyer should ensure this bracket is now rigid and secured. Additionally, the history of deformed handlebars and bent brake levers suggests the bike may have suffered drops, necessitating a close look for structural alignment or hidden damage to the frame and controls.
