The Siamoto Favourite has an overall MOT pass rate of 76.3% across 477 real MOT tests — comfortably above the UK average, which puts it among the more reliable models on UK roads.
The most common problems on the Siamoto Favourite are direction indicator incorrect colour (17 recorded failures), brake hose excessively deteriorated (14), and tyre tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm (12). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection. Many are wear-and-tear items that can be budgeted for, but a car that's already failing on multiple fronts may signal neglected maintenance.
In terms of longevity, most Siamoto Favourite models stay on UK roads for around 23 years — a strong showing that suggests solid build quality and readily available parts. If you're buying one that's already approaching that window, the data suggests it has plenty of life left provided it's been maintained.
Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
