Kymco Agility (2018)
2018 Kymco Agility
CarHunch analysed 242 real MOT records for the 2018 Kymco Agility. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2018 KYMCO AGILITY is a serious reliability concern: just 12.3% pass first-time versus the UK average of 80%, and this figure is driven almost entirely by the 203 electric variants in this cohort, which have a 0% pass rate. While dangerous defects are rare at 1.7%, the wholesale MOT failure pattern suggests systemic issues with these electric scooters that buyers need to investigate before purchase.
The average mileage of 10,443 miles is reasonable for a six-year-old vehicle, yet electric KYMCO Agilitys are plainly not meeting UK roadworthiness standards at scale. Before committing to one of these, get a full pre-purchase inspection from a specialist who understands electric two-wheelers, because the MOT data indicates these machines are arriving at test with multiple defects rather than isolated problems.
What to check before buying a 2018 Kymco Agility
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.
