CarHunch analysed 109 real MOT records for the 2013 White Knuckle 125 Sport. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

Don't buy this bike expecting it to pass its MOT first time—only 30% do, against the UK average of 80%. With 8.3% of these machines flagged for dangerous defects, you're looking at a model with real safety concerns that demand serious inspection before purchase.

At just 6,653 miles median mileage, these 2013 White Knuckle 125s are relatively low-mileage, yet they still average 0.51 failures and 1.8 advisories each, suggesting age-related wear rather than heavy use is the culprit. If you're considering one, budget for a full pre-purchase inspection by a specialist mechanic and factor in repairs—this isn't a straightforward buy.

What to check before buying a 2013 White Knuckle 125 Sport

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.
