Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2000 Suzuki Ug110?

The 2000 Suzuki UG110 passes MOT at 84.5%, which is comfortably above the UK average of 80%, suggesting these scooters are generally well-maintained. The dangerous defect rate sits at 9.7%, which is acceptably low and shouldn't be a major concern for prospective buyers.

Typical failures average just under one per vehicle with 1.5 advisories each, indicating minor wear rather than structural problems—when you're viewing one, ask the seller for the last MOT certificate to check what specific issues cropped up, as this will tell you far more about that individual bike's condition than any aggregate score.
