Keeway Rk (2016)
2016 Keeway Rk
CarHunch analysed 314 real MOT records for the 2016 Keeway Rk. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2016 KEEWAY RK falls short of the UK average, with a 75.8% first-time pass rate versus 80%, and that gap widens considerably when you note that one in three vehicles has recorded a dangerous defect during its MOT history—a serious red flag for a potential buyer. This is a reliability concern you can't ignore, particularly if you're considering an older example without full service history.
These bikes sit at a modest 9,153 miles median mileage for their age, suggesting they're not thrashed commuters, but the 4.9 average advisories per vehicle point to wear accumulating across multiple systems rather than isolated issues. Before purchasing one, get a pre-buy inspection focused on braking, electrics, and chassis integrity, and factor in a budget for remedial work.
What to check before buying a 2016 Keeway Rk
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 33.1% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
