This 2011 Honda scooter is slightly less reliable than the UK average, with a 75.8% first-time pass rate against the national 80%, and a concerning 24.8% of vehicles have recorded dangerous defects—a red flag that warrants a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic. The petrol models (which make up the vast majority) show the same 75.6% pass rate, so fuel type isn't a differentiator here.

At nearly 17,400 miles on average for a 13-year-old machine, these scooters have been ridden moderately hard, and the 1.11 failures per vehicle alongside 3.1 advisories per test suggest wear to consumables and braking components is typical. Before buying, have any prospective purchase checked for signs of brake wear, corrosion, and suspension play—don't rely on the MOT alone given the high dangerous defect rate.

The 2011 Honda Ww 125 Ex2 A passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (84.9%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.

⚠️ Over 1 in 5 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context

🔧 Average reliability. Passes at roughly the UK rate — not a standout, not a problem vehicle. Individual history makes all the difference.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 3.1 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 1,457 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
