KTM 990 ADVENTURE2010 · 1.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT record is from May 2016, which means there is a ten-year gap in the recorded history. This is the most significant concern as the current roadworthiness of the vehicle is entirely unknown. The available records show a recurring pattern of defects regarding a noisy exhaust and a bent clutch lever. There was also a failure in 2016 due to a clutch fluid leak and a noted misting on the rear shock absorber, which suggests the suspension was starting to fail. The mileage is very low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. Given the decade-long absence of MOT entries, it is highly likely that the bike has spent long periods standing rather than being used lightly. This typically leads to the perishing of rubber components and the degradation of essential fluids. Because the history stops in 2016, it is impossible to determine if the condition is improving or worsening, but the last available data showed a trend of multiple small defects and corrosion on the front wheel spokes. The most important checks are to inspect the rear shock for leaks, check all rubber hoses and tyres for perishing, verify the exhaust system is secure and legal, and ensure the clutch and brake hydraulics are functioning without leaks.
