2020 Royal Alloy Gp 125 Ac

CarHunch analysed 115 real MOT records for the 2020 Royal Alloy Gp 125 Ac. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2020 Royal Alloy GP 125 AC has a first-time pass rate of 74.8%, which sits below the UK average of 80%, suggesting these bikes encounter more issues than typical at MOT time. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare at 7.0%, so safety-critical failures aren't a widespread concern for the model.

At just 2,159 miles median mileage, these are lightly used machines, yet they're still averaging 0.19 failures and 0.8 advisories per vehicle—a sign that minor wear and maintenance items crop up even on low-mileage examples. Before buying, have a mechanic inspect the charging system and electrical components specifically, as these are common weak points on small-capacity commuter bikes at this age.

What to check before buying a 2020 Royal Alloy Gp 125 Ac

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.
