Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2000 Easy Rider M 50 Jc 50 Q 7?

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.

This 2000 Easy Rider is a serious reliability concern—only 23.7% pass first time against the UK average of 80%, putting it in the bottom tier of vehicles tested. The good news is dangerous defects are rare at just 1.9%, but buyers should expect this moped to need work when it comes through MOT.

At under 2,600 miles on average, these machines haven't covered much ground, yet still fail MOT regularly, which suggests age-related deterioration rather than abuse. With 0.33 failures and 0.8 advisories per vehicle on average, you're looking at minor faults that accumulate—plan for routine repairs before test day rather than hoping it'll scrape through.
