Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2004 Ccm R 30 Supermoto?

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 2004 Ccm R 30 Supermoto?

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 2004 Ccm R 30 Supermoto?

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 2004 Ccm R 30 Supermoto reliable?

Based on MOT data from 218 vehicles, the 2004 Ccm R 30 Supermoto has a first-time MOT pass rate of 88.3%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2004 Ccm R 30 Supermoto?

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 2004 CCM R 30 Supermoto has a first-time pass rate of 72.1%, which sits noticeably below the UK average of 80%, suggesting these bikes are more prone to MOT failures than most vehicles on the road. The dangerous defect rate of 7.8% is reassuringly low, so while reliability is a concern, safety-critical issues are not a major red flag.

At a median mileage of just 5,425 miles for a 20-year-old machine, these Supermotos have been lightly used overall, yet they're still failing MOT more often than average—this points to age-related deterioration rather than wear from heavy riding. With an average of 1.21 failures and 3.5 advisories per test, expect corrosion, lighting, and exhaust issues to crop up; before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the cooling system and fuel tank integrity, as these are expensive weak spots on older small-displacement sports bikes.

We have limited data for the 2004 Ccm R 30 Supermoto — 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.
