Use our detailed year-by-year breakdown and failure analysis below to understand how your specific Rev-3 is likely to perform.
Motorcycle reg plates and vin — 5.4% of failures
Motorcycle reg plates and vin issues account for 5.4% of MOT failures on the Beta Rev-3. Motorcycle reg plates and vin issues are a common cause of MOT failure. Regular inspection and maintenance of these components helps ensure your vehicle passes its MOT. Typical repair costs: £100–400. Pre-MOT check: Have this system checked during regular servicing. Look for warning signs like unusual noises, vibrations, or dashboard warning lights.
Motorcycle lighting and signalling — 5.1% of failures
Motorcycle lighting and signalling issues account for 5.1% of MOT failures on the Beta Rev-3. Motorcycle lighting and signalling issues are a common cause of MOT failure. Regular inspection and maintenance of these components helps ensure your vehicle passes its MOT. Typical repair costs: £100–400. Pre-MOT check: Have this system checked during regular servicing. Look for warning signs like unusual noises, vibrations, or dashboard warning lights.
Motorcycle steering and suspension — 4.9% of failures
