2019 KTM 125 Duke 18 0.1L Petrol · EF68 CFY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from minor neglect to emerging mechanical wear. The most recent test in August 2025 at 15,038 miles indicated a pass despite a light oil mist on the front shock absorber and a binding rear brake caliper. While these issues did not trigger a failure, they represent a transition from the perfectly clean record seen in 2023, suggesting that components are beginning to age. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,148 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between March 2022 and March 2023, where the bike covered only 1,869 miles in over fourteen months. This low frequency of use explains the presence of a rear tyre worn to the legal limit in 2022 at 12,551 miles, as long periods of standing can lead to flat-spotting or rubber de-gradation alongside se se of linkages and brake-related components. A buyer must inspect the front fork seals closely to ensure the light misting has not progressed into a full seal failure, which would require expensive replacement. The reported rear brake binding necessitates a physical check of the caliper piston and slide pins to ensure they are not seized due to corrosion or lack of use. Additionally, the 2023 failure regarding an insecure handlebar mounting suggests a previous lack of basic bolt checks; therefore, all critical pivot bolts and triple tree clamps should be verified for torque to ensure structural integrity before purchase.
