2022 Keeway Superlight 125 E5 0.1L Petrol · PE72 FNC

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 3 July 2026, although it required two separate attempts to achieve this result. The maintenance trend appears reactive rather than proactive, as the test history shows a series of failures ranging from critical mechanical leaks to basic lighting adjustments and missing safety components. While the motorcycle is currently certified as roadworthy, the frequency of failures within a short window suggests that the previous owner may have neglected routine pre-test inspections and general upkeep. With 11,702 miles recorded over approximately four years, the annual average of 2,926 miles is relatively low for a small-capacity motorcycle. This usage profile suggests the vehicle has been used for light commuting or occasional leisure rather than heavy daily transit. While lower mileage generally implies less wear on the internal engine components, it can introduce specific risks associated with periods of inactivity, such as the degradation of the 12V battery, the accumulation of moisture in the brake fluid, or the perishing of rubber components. Prospective buyers must scrutinise the front suspension, as the previous major failure for a leaking nearside front shock absorber indicates a potential failure of the fork seals. During a test drive, listen for any clunking sounds and feel for excessive diving under braking or an unstable, bouncy sensation, which would suggest the replacement was inadequate or that the opposite fork is also failing. The recorded advisories regarding a loose drive chain and wheel misalignment are also significant; ensure the chain is correctly tensioned and lubricated, and check for uneven tyre wear which would confirm a persistent alignment issue. The most recent advisory regarding the rear tyre being close to the legal limit indicates that an immediate replacement is necessary. Inspect the tyre for squaring of the profile or sidewall cracking, which often occurs on low-mileage bikes that have stood for long periods. Additionally, verify that the front stop lamp switch is now operating correctly by testing the brake light from both the handlebar lever and the foot pedal. Finally, check the service book to ensure oil and filter changes have been carried out based on calendar intervals rather than mileage alone, as aged oil can lead to premature engine wear regardless of the distance travelled.
