Hyosung GT 125 R (2007)
2007 Hyosung GT 125 R
CarHunch analysed 211 real MOT records for the 2007 Hyosung GT 125 R. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2007 Hyosung GT 125 R is a notably unreliable bike: only 48.3% pass first time, against the UK average of 80%, and nearly one in five (19%) have recorded dangerous defects during their MOT history—a red flag for safety-critical failures. The petrol version shows no different pass rate (47.1%), so fuel type isn't the issue here.
These bikes average just over 13,000 miles total, suggesting many are ridden infrequently or poorly maintained between tests, and that low usage hasn't helped—each vehicle racks up 1.53 failures and 5.0 advisories on average, pointing to systemic mechanical and wear issues rather than just hard miles. If you're considering one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the frame, forks, brakes, and lights, and budget for immediate remedial work.
What to check before buying a 2007 Hyosung GT 125 R
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.
