Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2016 Ccm Gp?

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 2016 Ccm Gp?

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 2016 Ccm Gp?

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.

Is the 2016 Ccm Gp reliable?

Based on MOT data from 108 vehicles, the 2016 Ccm Gp has a first-time MOT pass rate of 88%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

What are common problems with the 2016 Ccm Gp?

The most frequently recorded MOT issues on the 2016 Ccm Gp are: COVID-19 6 MONTH EXTENSION (17% of vehicles), Exhaust noisy (16.1% of vehicles), Rear reflector missing (16.1% of vehicles). These figures are based on actual MOT test records — search a specific registration on CarHunch to see its individual history.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2016 Ccm Gp?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

The 2016 CCM GP is more reliable than average, with an 88% first-time pass rate that sits 8 percentage points ahead of the UK average of 80%, and a low dangerous defect rate of just 5.6% makes it a reasonably safe bet from a structural perspective. These motorcycles are genuinely low-mileage machines, with a median of only 6,020 miles at test time, suggesting many are garage queens or weekend riders rather than daily commuters. The 0.71 average failures per vehicle is modest, though the 1.9 advisories per bike hint at minor wear items that accumulate—typical for machines that don't get heavy use. If you're buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on fuel system condition and brake components, since low mileage can mask deterioration from sitting.

We have limited data for the 2016 Ccm Gp — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.

⚠️ Around 1 in 20 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

✓ 3,033–9,468 miles — normal for age. This is where most 2016 Ccm Gps sit.

⚠ Over 12,781 miles — higher than typical. Not necessarily a problem, but check service history and look out for advisory build-up on tyres and brakes.
