Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2015 Kymco Ck?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

The 2015 KYMCO CK falls slightly short of the UK average with a 76.8% first-time pass rate versus 80%, and carries a notable concern: 26.7% of vehicles in this cohort have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, well above the typical threshold. This suggests buyers should factor in potential safety-critical repairs when evaluating one of these scooters.

These machines are running relatively light at an average of 14,529 miles, which is low for nine-year-old vehicles, indicating many haven't been thrashed. However, the median Carhunch score of 50 and 4.7 average advisories per test reveal recurring minor issues—most likely wear items like brake pads and tyres—that owners should budget for regularly. Have any prospective purchase independently inspected by a mechanic familiar with scooters, particularly around braking and electrical systems.

We have limited data for the 2015 Kymco Ck — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.

⚠️ Over 1 in 5 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

Across 135 vehicles — figures show how many had each issue flagged at least once in their MOT history.

Tyre wear 40.4%

Rear Tyre worn close to the legal limit · Front Tyre worn close to the legal limit · Rear Tyre tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm

Usually cheap to fix. Worth confirming all lights work before collecting.

Other issues 28.1%

Drive chain worn but not considered excessive · Drive chain excessively loose · Rear Drive chain sprocket worn, but not excessively · …

Exhaust & emissions 20.8%

Exhaust noisy

Brake wear 18%

Front Brake indicates slight fluctuation of brake effort · Rear Brake indicates slight fluctuation of brake effort

Ask the seller when brakes were last serviced. If they don't know, factor in the cost.

Suspension & steering 12.4%

Steering headbearing has slight free play · Rear Wheel bearing has slight play · Front Wheel bearing has slight play

Harder to spot without a ramp — this is a good reason to book a pre-purchase inspection.
