2016 KTM RC0.1L Petrol

The September 2025 test at 27,145 miles passed with a drive chain slightly loose and rear sprocket cush drive rubbers deteriorated, indicating recurring drivetrain wear rather than a resolved issue. The tester flagged excessive play in the rear sprocket and noted a near side front shock absorber with a light misting of oil, while the rear brake disc showed wear but remained within limits. The mileage record shows a steady increase from 13,610 miles in June 2019 to 27,145 miles in September 2025, averaging about 2,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2016 model and suggests no prolonged periods of inactivity. Recurring observations of a light oil mist on the near side front shock absorber, slight fluctuation of front brake effort, and worn front tyre tread indicate that suspension components and brake pads have been subject to repeated service but have not been fully rectified, and the rear sprocket shows excessive play that may affect chain tension. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear sprocket cush drive rubbers for excessive play, verify rear brake disc thickness, check the condition of the near side front fork seal for oil leakage, examine the front brake calipers for binding, and assess the overall structural integrity for corrosion, especially around the chassis rails and exhaust mounts.
