Keeway Tx (2014)
2014 Keeway Tx
CarHunch analysed 113 real MOT records for the 2014 Keeway Tx. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2014 Keeway TX has a first-time pass rate of 70.2%, which trails the UK average of 80% by nearly 10 percentage points—a meaningful gap that suggests reliability issues are more common than typical. More concerning, 36.3% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, well above the threshold where serious buyer caution is warranted.
The median mileage of 10,428 miles is low for a ten-year-old bike, suggesting most surviving examples haven't been thrashed, yet they still average 1.33 failures per test and rack up 6.1 advisories each—a sign that age-related wear and component degradation are catching up faster than usual. Before buying one, have an independent pre-purchase inspection focus on the suspension, brakes, and electrical systems, as these are where cheap Chinese-market bikes typically show their weaknesses first.
What to check before buying a 2014 Keeway Tx
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.
- ⚠️ 36.3% 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.
