UK

This 2007 Shineray XY 125 is a deeply unreliable machine by any measure: only 17.9% pass the MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, and nearly four in five of these bikes are failing their test. Dangerous defects are rare at 3.8%, so safety isn't the primary concern—it's persistent, everyday mechanical failure.

The median mileage of just 482 miles suggests most of these vehicles are either neglected, poorly maintained, or simply sitting unused, which explains the extraordinarily low pass rate; even casual riders expect their bike to at least start and run legally. With barely a quarter-failure and half an advisory per vehicle on average, the failures tend to be scattered rather than systematic, but that unpredictability itself is a red flag. If you're considering one, budget hard for a complete mechanical inspection before purchase and expect ongoing repair costs to dwarf any initial savings.

MOT statistics not available

We have 236 2007 Shineray Xy 125 Gy Viii vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
