The 2021 Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 has a first-time MOT pass rate of 72.6%, which is noticeably below the UK average of 80%, suggesting this model encounters more issues at test than typical. The dangerous defect rate sits at 5.7%, which is mercifully low and shouldn't be a significant buyer concern.

Before purchasing one, have an independent mechanic inspect the fuel system and electrics, as these tend to be where the advisory issues cluster on this model.

What to check before buying a 2021 Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 2021

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.
