2017 KSR Moto TW 0.1L Petrol · BK67 WPY

The vehicle currently presents a concerning roadworthiness status following a critical failure in its most recent test. On 13 January 2023 at 13,668 miles, the tester identified severe safety risks, including an insecure front wheel spindle and excessive play in the front wheel bearing. These faults, combined with a binding rear brake and noise from the front, indicate a trend of deferred maintenance where vital steering and braking components were ignored until they reached a point of failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, with only 13,668 miles recorded, averaging roughly 1,500 miles per year. There is a significant three-year gap between the September 2020 test and the January 2023 test during which the vehicle covered only 1,357 miles. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, periods of standing often lead to degradation of rubber components and seized brake parts, which correlates with the reported issues regarding the drive chain and binding calipers. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front end to ensure the wheel bearing and spindle have been correctly replaced and torqued. The mechanical history shows recurring issues with the braking system and drivetrain, with front pads nearing minimum limits in 2020 and rear brakes binding in 2023. You should specifically inspect the drive chain for stretch and corrosion, as it was previously flagged as likely to fail in 2020, and verify the exhaust system for any leaks or corrosion that caused noted noise in previous tests.
