2022 Benelli Tornado Naked T 125 E5

CarHunch analysed 622 real MOT records for the 2022 Benelli Tornado Naked T 125 E5. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2022 Benelli 125 has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 48.8%—less than two-thirds of the UK average of 80%—which signals real reliability concerns for a relatively new bike. Dangerous defects are uncommon at 3.4%, so safety-critical failures aren't the core issue here; instead, minor wear and build quality problems are driving the low pass rate.

The median mileage of 3,045 miles is low for a 2022 model, suggesting these bikes aren't racked up hard use, yet they're still failing their tests at twice the national rate. With an average of 0.4 advisories per vehicle, owners should expect to budget for small fixes between tests—if you're considering one, factor in pre-MOT servicing and a thorough mechanical inspection before purchase.

What to check before buying a 2022 Benelli Tornado Naked T 125 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.
