About This Data

The 2017 Ktm 125 has an MOT pass rate of 82.5% based on 177 tests — well above the UK average for UK vehicles. Cars of this vintage present for MOT with an average of 10,760 miles on the odometer. With a 17.5% failure rate, the 2017 125 is rated as "Excellent" for MOT reliability.

If you own or are considering buying a 2017 Ktm 125, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to motorcycle tyres: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating. With relatively low average mileage of 10,760 miles, many of these vehicles are still in good mechanical condition.
