Vmoto Tc1 (2019)
2019 Vmoto Tc1
CarHunch analysed 110 real MOT records for the 2019 Vmoto Tc1. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 VMOTO TC1 has a first-time MOT pass rate of 57.6%, well below the UK average of 80%, which is a red flag for reliability. The good news is that dangerous defects are relatively uncommon at 9.1%, so safety isn't the primary concern here—rather, you're looking at a bike that tends to need repairs before it passes its test.
With a median mileage of just 2,172 miles for a five-year-old machine, these bikes are lightly used, yet still fail MOT more often than average, suggesting inherent build or maintenance issues rather than wear and tear. The 1.0 advisories per vehicle on average tells you these aren't catastrophic failures, but they add up; before buying one, have a pre-purchase inspection done by a mechanic familiar with Chinese-market bikes, as dealer support for VMOTO in the UK is limited.
What to check before buying a 2019 Vmoto Tc1
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.
