This 1999 Easy Rider M50 is a reliability concern—only 18.9% pass first time compared to the UK average of 80%, and petrol models fare no better at 18.2%. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare at just 1.2% of vehicles, so safety isn't the main issue here.
The median mileage of 1,768 miles suggests these are lightly used machines, yet they still fail MOT at an alarming rate, pointing to age-related deterioration rather than wear. With an average of 0.22 failures and 0.4 advisories per test, expect to budget for multiple corrective visits; before buying one, have a pre-purchase inspection done by someone familiar with this model to identify what's typically failing.
What to check before buying a 1999 Easy Rider M 50 Jc 50 Q 7
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.
