KTM 300 EXC TPI 182017 · 0.3L Petrol

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 12 May 2022 at 2,166 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the motorcycle met all primary safety and emission standards at that time, suggesting the mechanical and structural components were in-working order despite the limited use. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 241 miles per year. Between the August 2020 test at 1,980 miles and the 2022 test at 2,166 miles, the bike covered only 186 miles. This data suggests the vehicle has spent long periods stationary or is used only very occasionally. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine, brakes, and drivetrain, it often introduces risks related to the degradation of rubber components and fluids. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection must focus on the effects of long-term storage. A buyer should check for perished rubber hoses, fuel lines, and cracked tyres that may degrade with age regardless of mileage. The suspension seals, specifically the front forks and rear shock, require close scrutiny for leaks or drying caused by lack of movement. Additionally, the brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or pitting which often occurs when a vehicle sits unused for extended periods.
