2016 White Knuckle 125 0.1L Petrol · BP16 XPY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in March 2025 at 17,657 miles. The overall maintenance trend shows signs of improvement as recurring mechanical defects identified in previous years have been addressed. While the March 2025 test initially failed due to a registration plate error and a worn drive chain, the subsequent pass on the same day with no recorded defects indicates that the owner has been responsive to rectifying faults flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,766 miles per year. Data between May 2023 and March 2025 shows the bike covered only 196 miles in nearly two-year period, suggesting it is used only for very short local trips or sits stationary for long durations. While this reduces the wear on the engine and drivetrain, low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid stagnation, which is reflected in the MOT history. A buyer should perform a close inspection of the rear suspension and braking assembly. The records from 2023 and 2024 highlight a persistent issue with the rear shock absorber bushes, damping effects, and rear wheel bearing play. Although these were noted as minor previously, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the components are aging through time rather than mileage. Additionally, the 2023 failure for low brake efficiency necessitates a physical check of the brake lines and fluid fluid to ensure the system has not seized or perished during long periods of inactivity.
