Moderate sample. 389 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.
The 2007 Keeway Hurricane has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 42.9%, less than half the UK average of 80%, which signals serious reliability concerns for this Chinese-market commuter bike. With 10.3% of vehicles recorded having dangerous defects, it's a meaningful safety consideration, though not extreme.
These machines have covered only around 7,900 miles on average—relatively light use for a 17-year-old vehicle—yet they're still failing tests at more than double the typical rate, suggesting inherent build or design weaknesses rather than wear and tear. At 0.76 failures per vehicle and 2.1 advisories, the average Hurricane owner faces recurring costs; if you're considering one, budget for regular remedial work and have any purchase inspected by a mechanic familiar with Chinese motorcycle quality issues.
The 2007 Keeway Hurricane has a below-average first-time pass rate (70.1% vs ~80% UK average) — check the specific vehicle's full MOT history carefully before buying.
These stats describe 389 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.
