Wrightbus Gb Kite Electroliner (2024)

193 real MOT outcomes analysed • 10.2% first-time pass rate

2024 Wrightbus Gb Kite Electroliner

CarHunch analysed 193 real MOT records for the 2024 Wrightbus Gb Kite Electroliner. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This is a brand-new bus model (2024), and the 10.2% first-time pass rate is not a reliability warning—it reflects that most vehicles haven't yet reached their first MOT, which explains why only 193 buses in this cohort have been tested. With zero dangerous defects recorded and an average of just 0.02 failures per vehicle, the Kite Electroliner demonstrates robust build quality so far.

The median mileage of 12,063 miles is sensible for a new bus model still in early service deployment, and the absence of any recorded advisories suggests these vehicles are holding up well operationally in their first year. If you're a fleet operator evaluating this bus, focus on verifying the manufacturer's warranty terms and planned maintenance schedule rather than MOT data—genuine reliability evidence will only emerge as the fleet ages and accumulates real-world miles.

What to check before buying a 2024 Wrightbus Gb Kite Electroliner

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.
