Honda Pes 125 A (2013)
2013 Honda Pes 125 A
CarHunch analysed 268 real MOT records for the 2013 Honda Pes 125 A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2013 Honda PES 125 A has a first-time MOT pass rate of 69.9%, which sits 10 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—a meaningful gap that suggests these scooters need more attention to stay roadworthy. The good news is that only 15.7% have ever had a dangerous defect, so serious safety issues are relatively uncommon.
These machines are running at around 16,988 miles median mileage, which is reasonable for their age, but they're averaging nearly one failure per vehicle and over two advisories, pointing to wear on smaller consumable items like brakes, lights, and cables. Before buying one, have a trusted mechanic inspect the electrical system and brake condition closely—these appear to be the weak points in this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2013 Honda Pes 125 A
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.
