Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2007 Bashan Bs 200 S 7 (quad Bike)?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2007 Bashan Bs 200 S 7 (quad Bike)?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2007 Bashan Bs 200 S 7 (quad Bike)?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

The 2007 BASHAN BS 200 S-7 has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 31.3%, less than half the UK average of 80%, which signals serious reliability concerns for this quad bike cohort. The dangerous defect rate is low at 5.1%, so catastrophic safety failures are uncommon, but the median CARHunch score of 50 reflects widespread issues across the sample.

These machines are running relatively low mileage (median 1,370 miles for a 17-year-old vehicle), yet still averaging 0.41 failures and 2.0 advisories per test, suggesting either age-related deterioration or inherent quality problems rather than wear-and-tear. Before buying, have any prospective purchase independently inspected by a quad specialist, as the low pass rate indicates you should expect repair costs early and often.
