2019 KTM 125 Duke 19 0.1L Petrol · KT19 EBC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but exhibits a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 16,961 miles, the failure just eleven days prior at 16,934 miles reveals significant neglect regarding basic safety items like lighting, drive tension, and braking efficiency. The presence of an advisory for a worn rear swing arm bush in the latest test indicates that mechanical components are now reaching the end of their service life despite the relatively low annual mileage. The mileage profile is low for a seven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between January 2024 at 10,870 miles and January 2025 at 14,639 miles, where the bike covered nearly 4,000 miles in a year. However, the rapid accumulation of 2,300 miles between January 2025 and February 2026 suggests a recent increase in intensive use, which correlates with the sudden mechanical failures observed in the brake pads and drive chain. A buyer must inspect the nearside front shock absorber, as the serious fluid leak recorded in early 2025 suggests a component that requires replacement. The rear swing arm bush requires immediate physical inspection to ensure the play has not progressed, as this can lead to handling instability if left untreated. Given the failure for low brake efficiency and thin pad material in February 2026, the entire braking system, including discs, should be checked for uneven wear or heat scoring. The recurring failure of an incorrectly positioned reflector across three years suggests a lack of attention to detail during previous maintenance sessions.
