This 2002 Easy Rider 50cc moped is a significant reliability concern—only 57% pass first time against the UK average of 80%, and the petrol version is even worse at just 35.7% pass rate. Dangerous defects are rare at 0.9%, so safety-critical issues aren't the main problem here.

These mopeds are racking up very light mileage (median 1,263 miles for a 22-year-old machine), suggesting many aren't being ridden regularly, which typically masks underlying issues. With 0.26 failures and 0.6 advisories per vehicle on average, you're looking at minor wear items and maintenance oversights rather than catastrophic faults—but the pattern suggests poor upkeep rather than design flaws. If you're considering one, budget for a full service and have a mechanic inspect the electrics, fuel system, and brakes before committing.
