2013 Skyjet Sj 125 23

CarHunch analysed 130 real MOT records for the 2013 Skyjet Sj 125 23. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2013 SKYJET SJ 125-23 is a reliability concern: only 21.7% pass on first attempt, compared to the 80% UK average, and while dangerous defects aren't rampant at 8.5%, the overall failure rate tells a worrying story. With a median CarHunch score of just 50, this machine is well below acceptable reliability thresholds.

The median mileage of 7,744 miles is surprisingly low for an 11-year-old vehicle, suggesting either these are lightly used scooters or many have been abandoned—vehicles averaging just 0.43 failures but 1.6 advisories typically need constant small fixes rather than catastrophic work. If you're considering one, budget for regular maintenance and expect to fail your first MOT attempt; factor in the cost of at least two inspection cycles before getting roadworthy.

What to check before buying a 2013 Skyjet Sj 125 23

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.
