2018 Keeway TX 125 E4 0.1L Petrol · PE68 AEJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on July 22, 2026, at 22,665 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. A failure just nine days prior on July 3, 2026, revealed multiple critical defects including a non-functional dipped headlamp, a missing rear reflector, and a dangerously worn rear tyre. While these specific issues were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, the frequency of failures suggests the owner only addresses faults when compelled by annual testing. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,833 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between August 2021 and July 2022, where the vehicle covered only 50 miles in eleven months. Conversely, the bike saw a recent increase in activity with 3,082 miles covered between the January 2025 and July 2026 tests. This intermittent use or long periods of standing explains the presence of age-related wear and the degradation of rubber components despite the low overall odometer reading. A buyer should physically inspect the drivetrain and controls assembly, as the recent failure flagged loose switch gear and a short front brake lever. The 2021 advisory regarding external damage to the rear shock absorber casing and brake effort fluctuation indicates the suspension and braking system should be checked for leaks or corroded rotors. Additionally, because the July 2026 test noted a worn drive chain and sprocket, the buyer must verify the chain tension and lubrication to ensure these components are not nearing a failing point despite the recent MOT pass.
