UK

This 1995 Kawasaki AR50-C10 is a deeply unreliable proposition by any standard—just 2.8% of these machines pass their MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, and none have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is the only bright spot in an otherwise grim picture. At nearly 29 years old, these scooters are genuinely at the end of their practical life, and the data reflects that harsh reality. The median mileage of 16,011 is respectable for the age, yet these vehicles still rack up failures at an alarming rate despite relatively low average mileage across the cohort, suggesting age-related decay rather than wear from heavy use. If you're considering one, treat it as a restoration project or parts bike rather than transport—budget for extensive work before it'll be roadworthy, and expect to fail its first inspection.

MOT statistics not available

We have 105 1995 Kawasaki Ar50 C10 vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
