AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and shows a stable maintenance trend following its most recent test on April 22, 2026. At 43,564 miles, the motorcycle recorded no defects, successfully rectifying the minor issues identified in early 2025. While the bike failed earlier that year due to missing footrests and an incorrectly seated tyre, the subsequent pass without advisories suggests the current owner is attentive to correcting faults once they are flagged. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 35-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,245 miles per year. The data reveals significant periods of inactivity; for instance, the vehicle covered only 22 miles between November 2023 and January 2025, and just 129 miles over the preceding year. While this low usage limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it historically increases the risk of rubber component degradation, perished seals, and fluid ingress due to long sits between tests. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension components, as the record shows a history of corrosion on the nearside upper assembly and offside lower assembly dating back to 2016. Despite the recent pass, structural integrity on aged steel requires close scrutiny for deep pitting. Additionally, the front wheel bearings and steering head bearings were previously flagged for free play and roughness in 2011 and 2012, so these should be checked for current tolerances to ensure the low mileage has not masked seized components. Verify the brake discs for thinning or warping, given the failure for distortion recorded in 2016.
