The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 20 March 2025 at 9,233 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a failure on 30 January 2025 at 9,226 miles, though the record lists no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eight year old motorcycle, averaging roughly 1,154 miles per year. The distance covered between the October 2022 test at 5,090 miles and the September 2023 test at 7,888 miles shows a period of moderate use. However, the bike has remained almost stationary since early 2025, covering only seven miles between the January failure and the March pass. Low usage over long periods often leads to specific degradation that MOT tests may overlook. A buyer should check for perished tyres and degraded brake fluid, as these components age regardless of mileage. The lack of any recorded advisories across four tests suggests the previous owner maintained the bike well, but the recent inactivity increases the risk of battery failure or fuel system gumming. Inspect the chain and sprockets for surface corrosion and ensure the fork seals have not dried out from standing. While the DVSA record shows no structural issues or suspension wear, a physical check of the brake discs for pitting is recommended given the low annual mileage.
