Should you buy a used White Knuckle 125?

The White Knuckle 125 has an overall MOT pass rate of 64.4% across 1,425 real MOT tests — below the UK average, so reliability should be a key concern.

A typical White Knuckle 125 owner drives around 915 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.

In terms of longevity, most White Knuckle 125 models stay on UK roads for around 14 years. If you're buying one that's already approaching that window, the data suggests it has plenty of life left provided it's been maintained.

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.
