Looking at a RT 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 RT 125 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the RT 125 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 147 in 2017 Q2 and stand at 29 in 2026 Q1, down 80%. That is down 51% 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

DfT codes every vehicle in the WK Bikes RT 125 generic-model group as petrol.

Before you buy

Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 80% from the 2017 Q2 peak of 147. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
