Mondial Hps 125 S E4 (2018)
2018 Mondial Hps 125 S E4
CarHunch analysed 148 real MOT records for the 2018 Mondial Hps 125 S E4. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2018 MONDIAL HPS 125 is a genuinely unreliable bike—its 58.9% first-time MOT pass rate sits nearly 22 points below the UK average of 80%, and nearly one in five owners will encounter a dangerous defect at some point, which is a serious red flag for safety-conscious buyers. The median mileage of just 3,458 miles suggests these aren't high-mileage machines being thrashed to death; instead, they're failing even at low use, pointing to systemic design or manufacturing weaknesses rather than owner neglect.
With an average of 0.79 failures and 1.6 advisories per vehicle, expect routine visits to the garage to address corrosion, suspension wear, and electrical gremlins. Before buying one, demand a full pre-purchase inspection from an experienced motorcycle mechanic and budget generously for regular maintenance—this model doesn't tolerate skipped services.
What to check before buying a 2018 Mondial Hps 125 S E4
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.
