Looking at a RK 125?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular RK 125 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the RK 125 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 186 in 2016 Q4 and stand at 25 in 2026 Q1, down 87%. That is down 75% in the five years since 2021 Q1.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Fuel and when it shows up in the statistics

DfT codes every vehicle in the Keeway RK 125 generic-model group as petrol.

Keeway RK 125 first appears in the published DfT series in 2015 Q3. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.

Before you buy

  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 87% from the 2016 Q4 peak of 186. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual RK 125 — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
