Keeway Rkr 125 E4 (2020)
2020 Keeway Rkr 125 E4
CarHunch analysed 123 real MOT records for the 2020 Keeway Rkr 125 E4. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Keeway RKR 125 E4 is a reliability concern: just 47.9% pass their MOT first time, nearly 33 percentage points below the UK average of 80%, and 8.1% have experienced dangerous defects—a flag that warrants careful inspection before purchase. With petrol models showing the same weak 47.4% pass rate, there's no fuel type escape here.
At just over 5,000 miles median mileage, these bikes are relatively low-mileage, yet they're still racking up 0.4 failures and 1.3 advisories per vehicle on average—suggesting inherent build or design issues rather than owner neglect. Before committing to one, have a trusted mechanic conduct a pre-purchase inspection focused on the systems that typically fail on this model, and budget for remedial work.
What to check before buying a 2020 Keeway Rkr 125 E4
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.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
