If you own or are considering buying a 2016 Sym Hu, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to identification of the vehicle: Ensure the VIN plate is visible and legible (usually in the windscreen or under the bonnet).

Identification of the vehicle — 1.2% of failures
Identification of the vehicle issues account for 1.2% of MOT failures on 2016 Sym Hu models. Identification failures relate to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and registration plate. The VIN must be permanently displayed and legible, and the registration plate must meet British Standard formatting. Typical repair costs: £10–50. Pre-MOT check: Ensure the VIN plate is visible and legible (usually in the windscreen or under the bonnet). Check that number plates are clean, undamaged, and use the correct font and spacing.
Motorcycle brakes — 1.2% of failures
Motorcycle brakes issues account for 1.2% of MOT failures on 2016 Sym Hu models. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: £150–400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
Motorcycle tyres — 1.2% of failures
Motorcycle tyres issues account for 1.2% of MOT failures on 2016 Sym Hu models. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures. Typical repair costs: £50–200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.
