Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2007 Kymco Agility?

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 2007 Kymco Agility?

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 2007 Kymco Agility?

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.

The 2007 KYMCO AGILITY has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 58%, well below the UK average of 80%, suggesting owners should expect regular maintenance headaches. With only 6% of vehicles recording a dangerous defect, the failures tend toward wear-and-tear rather than safety-critical issues, though that still means nearly two in five buyers will face a failed test.

These scooters typically show around 13,000 miles—reasonable for their age—but average 0.65 failures and 1.8 advisories per test, indicating brake wear, corrosion, and lighting problems are routine. If you're considering one, budget for immediate repairs and plan for regular MOT visits; this isn't a buy-and-forget-about-it machine.

The 2007 Kymco Agility passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (84%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.

⚠️ Around 1 in 20 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context

🔧 Average reliability. Passes at roughly the UK rate — not a standout, not a problem vehicle. Individual history makes all the difference.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 1.8 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 647 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.

What tends to go wrong

Across 647 vehicles — figures show how many had each issue flagged at least once in their MOT history.

Tyre wear 35.2%

Rear Tyre worn close to the legal limit · Front Tyre worn close to the legal limit · Rear Tyre tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm

Budget for a full set — on a vehicle this age, tyres are expected consumables. An inspection will confirm how much is left.

Lighting 17.3%

Exhaust slightly deteriorated · Headlamp at least one does not illuminate on dipped beam · Headlamp aim too low

Usually cheap to fix. Worth confirming all lights work before collecting.

Exhaust & emissions 11%

Exhaust is leaking but is not excessively noisey

Brake wear 10.3%

Rear Roller brake test indicates slight fluctuation of brake effort · Front Brake lever is bent but brake can still be readily applied · Rear Brake lever is bent but brake can still be readily applied · …

Ask the seller when brakes were last serviced. If they don't know, factor in the cost.

Suspension & steering 9.3%

Steering headbearing has slight free play

Harder to spot without a ramp — this is a good reason to book a pre-purchase inspection.
