2022 Keeway K-Light 125 E5 0.1L Petrol · RXZ 3992

The most recent DVSA MOT, carried out on 15 June 2026, was recorded as a full pass with no recorded defects or advisories. With only a single MOT entry available, the absence of any failures indicates that, at least at the time of the test, the motorcycle was in a road‑worthy condition and there are no visible trends of deteriorating components. In the absence of prior failures, the maintenance picture can be regarded as stable, and the lack of advisories suggests that routine servicing has kept the machine within acceptable limits. At four years old the Keeway K‑Light has logged just 8,019 miles, which works out to roughly 2,000 miles per annum. This is considerably below the typical usage pattern for a 125 cc commuter bike and points to either very light daily commuting, occasional weekend riding, or periods of prolonged storage. Low mileage reduces the cumulative wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch plates and tyre tread, but it also raises the possibility that the machine may have spent extended periods idle, which can affect battery health, rubber ageing and the condition of seals and gaskets. For a buyer, the first visual inspection should focus on the tyre sidewalls and tread. Even with modest mileage, tyre rubber can perish after four years, especially if the bike has been stored in a warm environment; look for cracking, hardening or loss of tread depth. The 12 V battery should be tested for charge retention, as long periods of inactivity can lead to sulphation and reduced cranking power. Verify that the brake discs are free of surface rust and that the pads have sufficient material; any uneven wear or pitting could indicate a sticking caliper that may have been masked by low usage. Check the oil level and colour, and confirm that the recommended oil change interval has been observed, as oil can degrade over time even without high mileage. Finally, examine the chassis and suspension for any signs of corrosion, especially around the rear swingarm pivot, front fork tubes and the exhaust system. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracks or loss of elasticity, which can develop from age rather than mileage. Ensure that the service book is up‑to‑date with entries for periodic checks such as coolant (if applicable), brake fluid replacement and spark plug inspection. During a short test ride listen for any unusual noises – clunks from the swingarm, a rough idle from the engine, or shudder when applying the brakes – and confirm that the throttle responds smoothly and that the gear shifts are crisp. Addressing these age‑related items will give a clearer picture of the bike’s true mechanical condition before purchase.
