2022 KTM 390 Duke 21 0.4L Petrol · J31 PJG

The 2022 KTM 390 Duke presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent DVSA test on 21 May 2025 at 3,057 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 2 December 2024 examination at the same mileage also passed cleanly. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration across the two available records. Mileage data reveals an exceptionally low usage pattern for a four-year-old machine. Both tests show an identical 3,057 miles, indicating the motorcycle covered no distance between December 2024 and May 2025. Annual average stands near 764 miles, well below typical rider figures. Such static storage over months suggests the previous keeper used the bike sparingly or left it idle, with the clean test results implying it was sheltered rather than subjected to harsh mechanical neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on components vulnerable to prolonged standing. The tester recorded no advisories on brake discs, suspension bushes, or structural corrosion, but stagnant fluids and perished seals may evade a basic MOT. Examine fork stanchions for weeping, check caliper pistons for binding, and verify tyre sidewalls for cracking despite adequate tread. Confirm battery condition and fuel system integrity given the low run rate. The absence of recorded faults across both examinations reflects a reassuring history. Prospective owners must recognise that a dormant motorcycle can hide latent issues invisible to a road test. A pre-purchase assessment by a marque specialist remains prudent.
