Reva G Wiz (2007)
2007 Reva G Wiz
CarHunch analysed 301 real MOT records for the 2007 Reva G Wiz. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 REVA G-Wiz passes its MOT first time in 73.4% of cases, sitting 6.6 points below the UK average of 80%—a meaningful gap that suggests these aging city cars are showing their wear. The good news is that dangerous defects turn up in only 14.9% of vehicles tested, so structural and safety risks aren't the dominant issue here.
These G-Wizs are racking up just 16,332 miles on average despite their age, which is genuinely low and reflects their original purpose as urban runabouts with limited range. When they do fail their MOT, it's typically multiple issues (1.95 failures per vehicle) plus a hefty 4.6 advisories, signalling that electrics, seals, and wear items need close attention—so budget for a pre-purchase inspection that specifically checks the battery pack condition and any signs of moisture ingress.
What to check before buying a 2007 Reva G Wiz
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.
