Kymco Unknown (2016)
2016 Kymco Unknown
CarHunch is tracking 1,587 2016 Kymco Unknown vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This cohort is almost entirely electric vehicles (1,586 of 1,587), and the 10% first-time pass rate is drastically below the UK average of 80%—a serious red flag for prospective buyers. However, the 0% dangerous defect rate means these vehicles aren't unsafe; the failures are likely technical or administrative issues specific to how electric scooters or small bikes are tested.
With only 4,566 miles average use, these are lightly used machines, yet they're still failing MOT en masse, suggesting the test protocol may not align well with how these vehicles are built or maintained. Before buying any 2016 KYMCO electric model, confirm the specific failure reasons with the dealer and check whether it's a known issue affecting the entire model line.
We have 1,587 2016 Kymco Unknown vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2016 Kymco Unknown
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.
