2007 Honda Pes 125 7
CarHunch analysed 198 real MOT records for the 2007 Honda Pes 125 7. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2007 Honda PES 125 has a first-time MOT pass rate of 71.2%, which sits noticeably below the UK average of 80% and signals above-average reliability concerns. The dangerous defect rate of 20.2% is also a red flag, meaning one in five of these scooters have shown safety-critical faults at some point—worth factoring in if you're considering a used example.
At a median mileage of just 16,634 miles for a 17-year-old machine, these scooters are typically low-use leisure vehicles, yet they still average 1.44 failures and 3.6 advisories per test, suggesting age-related wear matters more than miles here. Before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on brakes, electrics, and fuel system condition, as those are common failure patterns on aging commuter scooters.
