2015 KTM RC 0.1L Petrol · OU65 OWK

A history of significant mechanical failures, including a dangerous rear brake defect and a sticking throttle, defines the roadworthiness record of this vehicle. While the most recent test on 21 April 2023 resulted in a pass following a minor headlamp adjustment, the overall trend reveals a recurring pattern of tyre wear and intermittent lighting failures. The record indicates a vehicle that has undergone critical repairs to restore safety after periods of failure. The recorded mileage of 20,857 miles over approximately 11 years indicates a low annual average of roughly 1,896 miles. This usage profile is consistent with a vehicle that has spent significant time stationary, a fact supported by the 2021 advisory regarding a perished front tyre. The gap in testing between 2018 and 2021 further suggests a history of intermittent use rather than consistent daily operation. Prospective buyers should focus on the braking system and drivetrain given the previous dangerous rear brake failure and the reported binding of the front brake. During a test drive, evaluate the rear brake for consistent effort and ensure there is no evidence of dragging or judder from the front calipers. The recorded wear of the rear sprocket cush drive rubbers and play in the sprocket carrier bearing should be verified by checking for excessive slack or knocking in the final drive. The previous records of rough front wheel bearings and a sticking throttle require specific verification. Listen for any audible grinding or vibration emanating from the front hub during low-speed coasting and ensure the throttle operates without hesitation, returning sharply to the closed position from full lock. Additionally, the repeated advisories for worn front tyres across multiple years necessitate a close inspection of the current rubber for depth and surface integrity.
