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 NAVIGATOR beats 0 of its 4 closest rivals (BMW R1200, BMW R1150, TRIUMPH SPRINT).

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 NAVIGATOR.

Pass rate by registration year

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

Best year to buy used: 2004 (85.0% pass). Weakest: 2000 (77.1%).

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 NAVIGATOR FAQ

answers computed from the data above · terms in the glossary

Is the CAGIVA NAVIGATOR reliable?

The CAGIVA NAVIGATOR is less reliable than average for its class: 80.0% of its 975 MOT tests (2005–2025) passed first time, against a class average of 84.9%. That ranks it #3577 of 5426 models.

What does a NAVIGATOR fail its MOT on most?

lighting and signalling — 33% of all defects recorded against failed NAVIGATOR tests.

What is the best year of NAVIGATOR to buy used?

By first-time pass rate, 2004-registered examples do best (85.0%) and 2000 worst (77.1%). Condition and history still trump the year.

How many miles will a NAVIGATOR last?

The median NAVIGATOR shows 29,783 miles at test, and examples around 50k miles still pass 76.6% of the time — mileage alone rarely kills one.
