2016 KTM 250 0.3L Petrol · NL16 AEK

The vehicle maintains a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend across its recorded history. The most recent test conducted in April 2025 at 2,719 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the motorcycle remains in compliant condition for road use. This follows a consistent pattern of passes, suggesting that the bike has not suffered major mechanical or structural failures over the last several years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old machine, averaging approximately 272 miles per year. Data shows significant gaps in usage, particularly between the 2021 test at 826 miles and the 2023 test at 1,297 miles. This pattern suggests the bike has spent long periods stationary. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, infrequent use can introduce specific risks related to fluid degradation, dry seals, and tyre flat that are not always captured by MOT examiners alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system, specifically the front forks. The August 2020 test flagged a light misting of oil on the nearside front shock absorber. Although this did not cause a failure, it indicates the beginning of seal wear. Given the low usage, it is vital to verify that this has not progressed into a significant leak that could compromise damping or contaminate fork oil. Additionally, inspect the tyres for age cracking or flat spotting, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth.
