The MITO's first-time pass rate has risen 27.1 points since 2005, 49.4% to 76.5%.

Pass rate by mileage

how the MITO's first-time pass rate falls with the odometer · class average 73.4%

A low-mileage MITO passes first time 66.3% of the time; by 50k that's 58.0%.

First-time pass rate by odometer reading at test, 10,000-mile bands for this model. Mileage is the strongest reliability signal. See the full curve.

Defects recorded against failed normal tests, 2005–2025, grouped by DVSA inspection section. One test can record multiple defects. "vs all bikes" is how often this model's tests record a defect in the group, as a multiple of the all-bike rate.

How rivals compare

same type, similar capacity, high test volume

On first-time pass rate the MITO beats 0 of its 4 closest rivals (YAMAHA YBR 125, HONDA CG125, HONDA CBF125).

YAMAHA YBR 125 71.0% pass · 125k tests HONDA CG125 72.2% pass · 89.3k tests HONDA CBF125 73.3% pass · 84.4k tests GILERA RUNNER 70.8% pass · 69.9k tests

Rivals share this bike's type and sit within ±30% of its engine capacity, ≥ 5,000 tests. Card colour = better/worse first-time pass rate than the MITO.

Pass rate by registration year

how each model-year cohort fares · registration year from first use date

Best year to buy used: 1995 (59.4% pass). Weakest: 1993 (51.0%).

First-time pass rate by the year each bike was first registered (cohorts with ≥ 50 tests). Older cohorts are survivors: the worst examples have already left the road, which tends to lift the earliest years.

CAGIVA MITO FAQ

answers computed from the data above · terms in the glossary

Is the CAGIVA MITO reliable?

The CAGIVA MITO is less reliable than average for its class: 56.3% of its 2,532 MOT tests (2005–2025) passed first time, against a class average of 73.4%. That ranks it #5313 of 5426 models.

What does a MITO fail its MOT on most?

lighting and signalling — 38% of all defects recorded against failed MITO tests.

What is the best year of MITO to buy used?

By first-time pass rate, 1996-registered examples do best (59.4%) and 1993 worst (51.0%). Condition and history still trump the year.

How many miles will a MITO last?

The median MITO shows 22,490 miles at test, and examples around 50k miles still pass 58.0% of the time — mileage alone rarely kills one.
