2019 Neco Alex ONE 0.1L Petrol · GV19 OPD

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a comprehensive failure during the most recent MOT test on July 23 2024. The maintenance trend is severely deteriorating, moving from a clean record in early 2023 to a list of critical mechanical and safety failures within just eighteen months. The sheer volume of defects indicates a significant lack of basic oversight, as the vehicle was presented with multiple failures that should have immediately prevented safe operation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 394 miles per year. Between the January 2023 test at 2,076 miles and the July 2024 failure at 2,758 miles, the vehicle covered only 682 miles. While low mileage generally suggests less wear, the long periods of inactivity often lead to degradation of rubber components, seal failures, and fluid contamination, which appears to have caused the leaks and braking issues identified in the later record. A physical inspection must focus on the extent of the hydraulic and suspension failures. The 2024 report highlights serious fluid leaks from both front and offside rear shock absorbers, alongside oil-contaminated brake pads and discs. This suggests a failure of internal seals or hoses that has compromised the entire front braking system. The buyer must also verify the integrity of the deformed handlebar and bent brake lever, as these indicate the vehicle likely suffered an impact or misuse that was not professionally addressed. The structural integrity of the footrests and the mounting of the brake hoses require close scrutiny, as the tester flagged missing parts and inadequate support. Given that the roller brake test failed to meet minimum efficiency standards, the braking system requires a complete overhaul beyond simple cleaning of contaminated components. The history suggests a low-mileage vehicle that has been neglected during storage periods, leading to systemic mechanical failure despite the low use.
