The most common problems on the Kymco Kr Sport 125 are tyre tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm (33 recorded failures), drive chain excessively loose (26), and reflector on motorcycle missing (23).

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
