2012 Qingqi Qm 125 2d Stealth

CarHunch analysed 102 real MOT records for the 2012 Qingqi Qm 125 2d Stealth. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2012 Qingqi QM 125-2D Stealth is a reliability red flag: its 43.8% first-time pass rate sits well below the UK average of 80%, meaning more than half will need repairs before passing MOT. Whilst the 14.7% dangerous defect rate isn't extreme, the combination of frequent failures and a median CarHunch score of just 50 suggests this scooter demands serious maintenance commitment.

With a median mileage of only 12,898 km for a 12-year-old machine, these vehicles are lightly used but still failing regularly—pointing to age-related deterioration rather than wear abuse. The 0.8 average failures and 3.2 advisories per test indicate corrosion, electrics, and brake issues are common; before buying, have an independent technician inspect the entire braking system and electrical loom.

What to check before buying a 2012 Qingqi Qm 125 2d Stealth

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.
