2014 KTM 125 0.1L Petrol · YG64 ABU

The most recent DVSA MOT, carried out on 6 November 2025, resulted in a Pass with no recorded defects. Across the five documented tests the vehicle has consistently passed, apart from an isolated failure recorded on 23 September 2024 which appears to be a clerical anomaly rather than a repeatable fault. The overall maintenance trend can therefore be described as stable, with no evidence of deteriorating components or recurring advisories in the official record. With a recorded mileage of 4,105 mi after twelve years of existence the average annual usage works out at roughly 340 mi per year, which is markedly below the typical utilisation for a 125 cc motorcycle. Such low mileage generally points to infrequent riding or prolonged periods of storage. While reduced wear on moving parts is a benefit, the calendar age of the machine means that rubber, polymer and metal components may have suffered from ageing, oxidation and loss of elasticity despite the low distance covered. Given the low‑use profile, a prospective buyer should give particular attention to tyre condition, checking the tread depth and, more importantly, the side‑wall for cracking, dry‑rot or age‑related hardening – tyres older than five years are often deemed unsafe regardless of tread. The 12 V battery should be load‑tested and its electrolyte level inspected, as long periods of inactivity can lead to sulphation and reduced cranking power. Brake discs and pads merit close inspection for surface rust, glazing or uneven wear that can develop when the brakes sit unused; the calipers should be exercised to confirm they are not binding. Suspension elements such as coil springs, shock absorbers and rubber bushings should be examined for cracks, loss of compliance or corrosion at mounting points, and the frame, exhaust and fuel system should be surveyed for surface rust, especially in any concealed cavities where moisture may have accumulated. During a test ride listen for any clunking or squeaking from the front and rear suspension, note any pull to one side or vibration that could indicate tyre or wheel imbalance, and assess the brake pedal for a firm, consistent feel without sponginess. Verify that all lights, indicators and the horn operate correctly, and confirm that the throttle and clutch move smoothly without sticking – symptoms that can arise from fuel degradation or seized internal components after long storage. A comprehensive pre‑purchase service, including oil and filter change, brake fluid flush (recommended every two years), fresh coolant, and a full inspection of the chain and sprockets, will address the time‑based wear that low mileage alone does not reveal and provide a solid foundation for continued roadworthiness.
