Longjia Lj 50 Qt K (2012)
2012 Longjia Lj 50 Qt K
CarHunch analysed 141 real MOT records for the 2012 Longjia Lj 50 Qt K. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2012 Longjia is a genuinely poor MOT performer, passing just 28.5% of tests compared to the UK average of 80%—meaning roughly seven out of ten fail their annual inspection. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare at 3.5%, so when these scooters do fail, it's usually fixable rather than unsafe.
The median mileage of 6,605 miles is very low for a 12-year-old vehicle, suggesting most surviving examples are garage queens or lightly used commuters, yet they still rack up an average of 0.7 advisories per test. If you're considering one, expect regular maintenance costs and budget for a pre-purchase inspection by a scooter specialist, since the bulk of failures point to wear items and routine upkeep rather than structural problems.
What to check before buying a 2012 Longjia Lj 50 Qt K
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.
