2008 Sukida Sk 125 T 21

CarHunch analysed 105 real MOT records for the 2008 Sukida Sk 125 T 21. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2008 SUKIDA SK 125 T-21 is a significantly unreliable choice, with a first-time MOT pass rate of just 37.9%—less than half the UK average of 80%. While the dangerous defect rate of 7.6% is not extreme, the sheer frequency of failures means buyers should expect regular repair bills.

These are young vehicles by mileage, averaging just 7,113 miles, yet they're already accumulating 0.53 failures and 1.4 advisories per test on average—a sign of fundamental build or component quality issues rather than age-related wear. Before purchasing one, have a trusted mechanic inspect the ignition system, electrics, and frame welds, as these are the weak points typical of this model's failure patterns.

What to check before buying a 2008 Sukida Sk 125 T 21

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.
