Baotian Bt 50 Qt 11 (2005)
2005 Baotian Bt 50 Qt 11
CarHunch analysed 243 real MOT records for the 2005 Baotian Bt 50 Qt 11. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2005 Baotian is a significantly unreliable proposition: just 26.7% pass their MOT first time compared to the 80% UK average, putting it in the bottom tier of vehicles. With only 4.9% ever showing dangerous defects, the safety risk is manageable, but the relentless failure rate remains the core issue.
At under 3,000 miles median mileage, these scooters are running light, yet they're still racking up an average of 0.33 failures and 0.7 advisories each—suggesting age-related deterioration rather than heavy use. If you're considering one, budget for regular MOT visits and factor in that most will need work to pass; treat it as a project bike rather than reliable transport.
What to check before buying a 2005 Baotian Bt 50 Qt 11
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.
