Benelli Tornado Naked T 125 (2019)
2019 Benelli Tornado Naked T 125
CarHunch analysed 406 real MOT records for the 2019 Benelli Tornado Naked T 125. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Benelli Tornado 125 has a first-time MOT pass rate of 63.8%, which is significantly below the UK average of 80%—a red flag that suggests this model struggles with the test. While dangerous defects affect only 12.1% of vehicles, the consistently weak pass rate points to more systemic reliability issues than safety concerns alone.
These bikes are low-mileage machines at around 6,200 miles average, so the poor pass rate isn't down to age or heavy use—it reflects inherent design or quality problems. Average failures run at 0.49 per vehicle with 1.9 advisories each, indicating recurring minor and maintenance issues; before buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on electrics and fuel system components, which tend to be the weak spots on this model.
What to check before buying a 2019 Benelli Tornado Naked T 125
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.
