KTM 1190 Rc8 10 (2012)
2012 KTM 1190 Rc8 10
CarHunch analysed 121 real MOT records for the 2012 KTM 1190 Rc8 10. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2012 KTM 1190 RC8 passes its MOT at 78.3%, which is slightly below the UK average of 80%, suggesting reliability that's broadly in line with similar-age motorcycles but with a marginally higher failure rate. The dangerous defect rate of 10.7% is well below concern territory, so safety isn't a red flag here.
These 121 bikes are running surprisingly low mileage for their age—just 8,837 miles on average—which partly explains why they're not falling apart, though it also means you're likely buying an older machine that hasn't been properly used. The 1.16 average failures and 3.0 advisories per test suggest typical wear items like consumables and minor mechanical niggles, so budget for routine maintenance when you buy rather than expecting a problem-free machine.
What to check before buying a 2012 KTM 1190 Rc8 10
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.
