Moderate sample. 491 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This 2006 Honda SCV 100 F-5 is a genuinely unreliable proposition—just 21.3% pass first time against the UK average of 80%, meaning four out of five will fail their MOT. The dangerous defect rate of 4.1% is manageable, but the core issue is that this scooter simply doesn't hold up: almost eight in ten owners will face at least one failure when they test it.

The median mileage of just 9,238 miles suggests these are lightly-used machines, yet they're still racking up 0.31 failures and 0.5 advisories each, pointing to age-related deterioration rather than wear-and-tear abuse. If you're thinking of buying one, factor in regular MOT retesting costs and mechanical repairs as a certainty—this isn't a set-and-forget commuter, so budget accordingly and have a trusted mechanic inspect it thoroughly before purchase.

The 2006 Honda Scv 100 F 5 passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (82.9%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
