2011 Yamaha Xc 125 E Vity
CarHunch analysed 718 real MOT records for the 2011 Yamaha Xc 125 E Vity. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2011 Yamaha Vity has a 63.8% first-time pass rate, nearly 17 points below the UK average of 80%, which means these scooters fail their MOT significantly more often than typical vehicles. With 16% having recorded a dangerous defect during their testing history, buyers should expect reliability concerns that go beyond routine maintenance.
At just under 12,000 miles median mileage for a 13-year-old machine, these scooters rack up low annual usage, yet they still average nearly one failure per vehicle tested—suggesting age and storage issues matter more than hard riding. Before purchasing, get a pre-buy inspection focused on fuel system integrity and electrical components, which typically account for the 2.5 advisories these bikes accumulate.
What to check before buying a 2011 Yamaha Xc 125 E Vity
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.
