Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2017 Longjia Lj 50 Qt 3l Echo 50?

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 2017 Longjia Lj 50 Qt 3l Echo 50?

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 2017 Longjia Lj 50 Qt 3l Echo 50?

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.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2017 Longjia Lj 50 Qt 3l Echo 50?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

CarHunch is tracking 177 2017 Longjia Lj 50 Qt 3l Echo 50 vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

This 2017 Longjia 50cc scooter has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 1.4%, dramatically below the UK average of 80%—a serious red flag for reliability. With zero dangerous defects recorded and virtually no failures or advisories across 177 vehicles, the poor pass rate appears driven by minor compliance issues rather than safety concerns, but the pattern suggests consistent problems that owners need to address before testing.

At an average of 6,844 miles, these scooters are running relatively low mileage for their age, yet still struggle the MOT. Before buying one, ask the seller for its full MOT history and expect to budget for remedial work; the data suggests these machines need attention to pass, even when mechanically sound.
