Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted in April 2023 at 39,260 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the motorcycle met all legal safety standards at that time. While a failure occurred in March 2023 at 38,843 miles, the immediate pass just one month later at higher mileage suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly rather than a chronic mechanical failure. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 39,260 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap between the January 2022 test at 29,286 miles and the April 2023 test, where the vehicle covered nearly 10,000 miles in just fifteen months. This low usage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals which are not always captured by the MOT tester. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of age rather than high-mileage use. Given the lack of recorded advisories, the primary concerns involve checking for structural corrosion on the frame and exhaust system, which can affect older Keeway models stored stored outside. Inspect the tyres for sidew cracking and flat spotting, as low-mileage vehicles often age before the tread wears down. Since the last test was over three years ago, a thorough check of the brake fluid condition and inspection of the discs for pitting is essential to ensure the bike remains reliable after its period of inactivity.

MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The record contains 2 passes and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 11 April 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (3 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 10 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Stop lamp does not illuminate by the operation of both brake controls (4.3.2 (a) (iii))”; “Front Brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”; “Headlamp not working on main beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))”.

Our Verdict

Exercise significant caution before purc

Prospective buyers should prioritize a physical inspection of the chassis and swingarm, as the MOT records specifically note corrosion on the motorcycle structure and swingarm. You should also check the condition of the front brake disc and the operation of all lighting, including the stop lamp and main beam, which were previous failure points.

Negotiate based on the documented corrosion and the reported oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber. Ensure that the drive chain and clutch lever are in good working order, as these have been flagged in recent tests. Given the age and the specific issues noted, a comprehensive mechanical check is essential.

As a 124cc petrol motorcycle, running costs are typically low. Fuel economy should be efficient for urban commuting, and the insurance group for this engine size is generally accessible for new riders.

Maintenance costs will depend heavily on the condition of the consumables. Given the history of drive chain issues and tyre wear being noted in 2022, you should budget for regular chain maintenance and periodic tyre replacements. Estimated annual running costs are relatively modest for a small-capacity commuter.

Focus heavily on the structural integrity of the bike. The MOT history explicitly mentions corrosion on the swingarm and motorcycle structure; check these areas for deep pitting or signs of significant degradation. Inspect the nearside front shock absorber closely for any signs of oil leaking, following the 'light misting' noted in the 2023 records.

Additionally, verify the braking system. A fractured front brake disc was a failure item in March 2023, so ensure the current disc is smooth and free of cracks. Test the clutch lever for straightness and the drive chain for correct tension and wear, as both have been flagged in recent MOT tests.

This 2013 Keeway Superlight 124cc has covered 39,260 miles since its first registration in June 2013. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures, including a significant failure in March 2023 involving brake components and lighting. While the most recent test in April 2023 was a pass, several advisories regarding corrosion and shock absorber oil misting remain relevant.

No aggregate reliability data is available for the Keeway Superlight to provide a comparative benchmark.
