2014 KSR Moto Worx 125 0.1L Petrol · YC14 ABK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2022-11-07 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects or advisories recorded over the past four years. The consistent pass status suggests no recurring mechanical failures, though the lack of advisories or defects in recent tests means there is no evidence of ongoing issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, or structural corrosion—areas that would typically warrant closer scrutiny. The final pass in November 2022, just three months before the next mandatory test, indicates compliance with current regulations, though the absence of any pre-test advisories leaves no record of preemptive maintenance. Buyers should note that the 2021 failure—despite no defects being listed—was followed immediately by a retest, which passed without issue, implying either a procedural oversight or a minor, easily corrected issue that did not recur. The recorded mileage of 10,455 miles at the last test is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, with an average of just 871 miles per year over the past decade. This suggests either very light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension seals, brake fluid, and battery health. The abrupt jump from 97,712 miles in February 2020 to 10,326 miles in January 2021—likely a reset or error—disrupts the pattern, but the subsequent stability at around 10,455 miles implies no significant mileage accumulation since then. Such low mileage may mask potential neglect in areas like tyre tread depth, as failing twice on this metric in 2021 would have been flagged, yet no such entries appear. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rubber bushes and coil springs, for signs of perishing or excessive play, as these components degrade slowly even with low mileage. The brakes, while not explicitly failed, should be checked for uneven wear, glazed pads, or corrosion on the calipers, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Corrosion at the wheel arches, subframe, and exhaust mounts is another critical area, as rust can compromise structural integrity without visibly affecting performance. The battery and electrical connections, often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles, should also be tested for corrosion or reduced capacity, as prolonged inactivity can lead to parasitic drain or terminal degradation.
