KTM 990 SUPERDUKE2007 · 1.0L PETROL

The 2007 KTM 990 Superduke demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with no defects recorded across five consecutive MOT tests from 2017 to 2022. The most recent test on 2022-06-22 at 12,611 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or structural concerns were flagged in the history, suggesting the vehicle has been well-kept. However, the absence of tests after 2022 raises questions about its current condition, as the last assessment predates the current date by four years. The mileage of 12,611 miles over 19 years equates to an average of 664 miles annually, significantly below typical usage for a motorcycle of this age. The MOT records reveal erratic mileage progression, with minimal increases between 2017 (10,700 miles) and 2019 (11,752 miles), followed by a sharp jump to 12,611 miles by 2022. This pattern suggests periods of prolonged inactivity, which could accelerate wear on components like the fuel system, battery, and suspension. The lack of intermediate tests further complicates assessing long-term reliability. A buyer should prioritise inspecting storage-related degradation, such as dry rot on tyres, corrosion in the frame, or seized suspension bushes. The low mileage may mask wear on components that degrade with time, not use, including brake calipers, exhaust emissions systems, and electrical wiring. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the extended gap since the last test necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to verify the vehicle’s mechanical integrity and confirm no hidden issues arose during periods of inactivity.
