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 X10 350 beats 1 of its 3 closest rivals (PIAGGIO X9, HONDA Forza 300/350, PIAGGIO VESPA GTS 300 SUPER).

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 X10 350.

Pass rate by registration year

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

Best year to buy used: 2013 (85.9% pass). Weakest: 2012 (84.7%).
