2020 Royal Alloy GT 125i 0.1L Petrol · EX20 FBC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in component condition over time. While the most recent test in March 2024 at 3,330 miles passed, the tester identified new issues including a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. This follows a previous advisory regarding the steering headbearing from the prior year, indicating that while the car passes its tests, specific mechanical components are beginning to show age orrelated neglect. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 555 miles per year. Between the April 2023 test at 2,027 miles and the March 2024 test, the car covered only 1,303 miles. This minimal usage suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, flat-spotting tyres, and corrosion on brake metal surfaces despite the lack of mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A physical inspection must focus on the recurring steering headbearing fault which was flagged as stiff or notchy in both 2023 and 2024. The buyer should check for any play in the steering column or unusual noises when turning to ensure the bearing is not nearing imminent failure. Given the low mileage, the brake discs should also be inspected for surface pitting or seizing, as these are common issues with vehicles that remain unmoved for the majority of their lives.
