KTM 1190 ADVENTURE 132013 · 1.2L Petrol

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no recorded defects in its most recent 2025-10-24 MOT at 26,264 miles. All prior tests from 2017 to 2020 also showed passes with no issues, indicating consistent compliance with safety standards. The absence of recurring faults or advisories suggests the previous owner maintained the machine to a satisfactory level, though the long intervals between inspections (up to 5 years) may hint at inconsistent servicing practices. The mileage of 26,264 over 13 years equates to approximately 2,020 miles annually, significantly below average for a motorcycle of this age. This low usage could imply infrequent operation or prolonged storage, which may lead to hidden issues like seized components, degraded fluids, or corrosion in static areas. Notably, the 2020 test at 24,994 miles showed no defects, but the 5-year gap since the 2017 test at 17,469 miles raises questions about potential undetected wear during periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the front forks and rear shocks, for signs of oil leakage or stiffness, which might develop from long-term storage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as low mileage can mask wear in these critical areas. Structural integrity, especially around the frame and swingarm, warrants scrutiny to rule out rust or fatigue cracks, as these issues may not surface in MOT tests but could compromise safety.
