2002 Moto Roma Virage 125
CarHunch analysed 111 real MOT records for the 2002 Moto Roma Virage 125. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2002 Moto Roma Virage 125 is significantly less reliable than the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of just 55.9% against the typical 80%—meaning nearly half of these bikes fail their MOT on first attempt. Dangerous defects are uncommon at 9.9%, so safety-critical failures aren't the primary concern here.
These machines are typically ridden lightly, averaging only 7,377 miles across their lifetime, yet still accumulate an average of 0.85 failures and 2.2 advisories per test, suggesting chronic mechanical wear rather than heavy use damage. If you're considering one, budget for pre-purchase inspection by a specialist mechanic, as the high failure rate points to reliability issues that manifest even on low-mileage examples.
What to check before buying a 2002 Moto Roma Virage 125
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.
