Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Mutt Akita 125?

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 2022 Mutt Akita 125?

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 2022 Mutt Akita 125?

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 2022 Mutt Akita 125?

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.

2022 Mutt Akita 125

CarHunch analysed 129 real MOT records for the 2022 Mutt Akita 125. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 MUTT AKITA 125 is a reliability concern, with a first-time pass rate of just 36.8% against the UK average of 80%—this is a significant shortfall that suggests systematic issues across the cohort. Dangerous defects are rare at 4.7%, so safety isn't the primary worry here.

At an average mileage of 3,247 miles for a two-year-old bike, these machines are being ridden relatively hard, yet they're still arriving at MOT with persistent problems rather than age-related wear. The low advisory count of 0.3 per vehicle combined with the high failure rate suggests failures are often serious enough to require correction rather than warning. Before buying one used, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the electrical and fuel system, as the failure pattern here points beyond normal maintenance.
