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 EVOLUTION 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 EVOLUTION.

Pass rate by registration year

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

Best year to buy used: 2000 (61.3% pass). Weakest: 2001 (57.6%).

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 EVOLUTION FAQ

answers computed from the data above · terms in the glossary

Is the CAGIVA MITO EVOLUTION reliable?

The CAGIVA MITO EVOLUTION is less reliable than average for its class: 60.1% of its 1,505 MOT tests (2005–2025) passed first time, against a class average of 73.4%. That ranks it #5209 of 5426 models.

What does a MITO EVOLUTION fail its MOT on most?

lighting and signalling — 39% of all defects recorded against failed MITO EVOLUTION tests.

What is the best year of MITO EVOLUTION to buy used?

By first-time pass rate, 2000-registered examples do best (61.3%) and 2001 worst (57.6%). Condition and history still trump the year.

How many miles will a MITO EVOLUTION last?

The median MITO EVOLUTION shows 19,962 miles at test, and examples around 40k miles still pass 65.2% of the time — mileage alone rarely kills one.
