Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2021 Kymco Agility City 125 E5?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2021 Kymco Agility City 125 E5?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2021 Kymco Agility City 125 E5?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Based on MOT data from 132 vehicles, the 2021 Kymco Agility City 125 E5 has a first-time MOT pass rate of 52.5%, indicating below-average reliability for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2021 Kymco Agility City 125 E5?

This 2021 KYMCO AGILITY CITY 125 E5 is significantly less reliable than the UK average, with only 52.5% passing their first MOT compared to the national 80%—a substantial 27.5-point gap that suggests real durability concerns for this model. The 11.4% rate of dangerous defects is moderate rather than alarming, but combined with the low pass rate, it flags this as a risky buy for anyone expecting hassle-free ownership.

At 13,282 miles average, these scooters are lightly used for their age, yet they're still failing MOTs at high rates—indicating the problems aren't simply down to hard riding or neglect. With fewer than one failure per vehicle but nearly one advisory per vehicle on average, owners face niggling issues rather than catastrophic breakdowns, though the pattern suggests ongoing maintenance headaches. If you're considering one, budget for regular repairs and check the service history carefully—this isn't a set-and-forget machine.
