Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution. While the
The absolute priority for a buyer is to investigate the mileage discrepancy. You must ask the seller for a written explanation and supporting evidence, such as service invoices or a corrected MOT certificate, to explain why the 2025 reading is lower than the 2024 reading.
If the seller cannot provide a verifiable reason for this drop, the vehicle should be viewed as a high-risk purchase. Ensure you cross-reference the current odometer reading with the MOT history and check for any gaps in the service book that might suggest an engine replacement or clerical error.
As a 125cc petrol motorcycle, this Duke is designed for efficiency and lower entry-level costs. Fuel consumption is typically low, and it falls into a favorable insurance group for new riders, though premiums vary by location and age.
Annual costs will include the MOT fee, road tax, and routine maintenance such as oil changes and chain lubrication. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, insurance, and basic servicing, typically range between £600 and £900.
Start by verifying the current mileage on the digital display against the MOT records. Because the MOT history shows no defects, you should focus on wear-and-tear items that may not have triggered a failure, such as the condition of the brake pads and the tension and lubrication of the drive chain.
Inspect the white bodywork for any signs of previous drops or repairs. Check the tyres for age-related cracking or uneven wear, regardless of the remaining tread, as the low recorded mileage suggests the bike may have spent significant time stationary.
This white 2018 KTM 125 Duke has passed four MOT tests since 2022 with no defects recorded. However, the vehicle's history contains a critical inconsistency, with the mileage dropping from 9,462 miles in October 2024 to 2,900 miles in October 2025. This anomaly outweighs the otherwise clean testing record.
