2022 Royal Alloy Gp 125 Ac E5

CarHunch analysed 201 real MOT records for the 2022 Royal Alloy Gp 125 Ac E5. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Royal Alloy GP 125 AC E5 has a first-time MOT pass rate of 63.1%, significantly below the UK average of 80%, which suggests these machines face reliability challenges early in their lives. Dangerous defects are uncommon at 4.5%, so safety isn't the primary concern here—the issue is simply that many don't pass their first test.

At just 2,493 miles median mileage, these scooters are failing tests while still nearly new, indicating build or design quality issues rather than wear-and-tear problems. With fewer than 0.1 failures and advisories per vehicle on average, the failures that do occur tend to be straightforward, but if you're considering one, budget for a pre-purchase inspection and don't assume it will pass its first MOT without work.

What to check before buying a 2022 Royal Alloy Gp 125 Ac E5

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
