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 PLANET 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 PLANET.

Pass rate by registration year

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

Best year to buy used: 2002 (72.7% pass). Weakest: 1999 (53.5%).

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.

What is the best year of PLANET to buy used?

By first-time pass rate, 2002-registered examples do best (72.7%) and 1999 worst (53.5%). Condition and history still trump the year.

How many miles will a PLANET last?

The median PLANET shows 13,385 miles at test, and examples around 30k miles still pass 61.8% of the time — mileage alone rarely kills one.
