Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2018 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 2018 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 2018 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.

Based on MOT data from 242 vehicles, the 2018 Kymco Agility has a first-time MOT pass rate of 87.5%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

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.

We have limited data for the 2018 Kymco Agility — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.
