Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2016 Kymco Ck?

Watch for defects — worth knowing

What tends to go wrong

Across 114 vehicles — figures show how many had each issue flagged at least once in their MOT history.

Tyre wear 29.3%

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

Other issues 25.6%

Drive chain worn but not considered excessive · Handlebar deformed but serviceable · Drive chain excessively loose · …

Lighting 18.8%

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

Brake wear 14.3%

Front Brake lever is bent but brake can still be readily applied · Front Brake binding but not excessively · Rear Brake pedal is bent but brake can still be readily applied · …

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

Suspension & steering 14.3%

Rear Wheel bearing has slight play

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

Exhaust & emissions 8.3%

Exhaust noisy
