This 2013 Honda scooter has a first-time pass rate of 72.9%, which sits noticeably below the UK average of 80% and suggests reliability concerns for its age. More worryingly, 28.3% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is well above acceptable levels and should give any potential buyer pause.

With a median mileage of just 14,898 miles for an 11-year-old machine, these are relatively low-mileage examples, yet they're still accumulating 1.08 failures per vehicle on average—suggesting mechanical wear or maintenance neglect rather than genuine high-mileage stress. Before committing to purchase, have a pre-buy inspection focus on brake systems and tyres, as the high dangerous defect rate points to safety-critical components being the weak spot.
