Should you buy a used Nsu Quickly?

The Nsu Quickly has an overall MOT pass rate of 91.9% across 795 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 Nsu Quickly are wheel spoke excessively loose (5 recorded failures), roller brake test the less effective brake control does not achieve an efficiency of 25%. (5), and tyre is incorrectly seated on the wheel rim (4). 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.

A typical Nsu Quickly owner drives around 55 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.

In terms of longevity, most Nsu Quickly models stay on UK roads for around 64 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.
