This 2004 Easy Rider M 50 is a reliability concern: just 40% pass first time compared to the UK average of 80%, with a median CarHunch score of only 30 out of 100. The petrol version fares no better at 36% pass rate, and while dangerous defects are uncommon at 2.6%, the sheer frequency of failures suggests ongoing maintenance headaches.
These are low-mileage scooters (median 684 miles, average 1,601), so age rather than use is the culprit—20-year-old machines simply accumulate wear and corrosion. The 0.33 failures and 0.6 advisories per vehicle average reveal a pattern of recurring small problems rather than catastrophic breakdowns, meaning you'd be budgeting for steady repair costs rather than sudden failure. Before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on fuel system, electrics, and frame corrosion, as these are typical weak points on ageing scooters.
