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

The vehicle is in a stable and roadworthy condition based on the available data. The most recent MOT on 21 July 2025 at 51,663 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2021, indicating a vehicle that is maintained to a standard that consistently meets DVSA requirements without the need for corrective repairs between tests. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 28 year old motorcycle, averaging roughly 1,845 miles per year. Between 7 April 2021 and 21 July 2025, the odometer moved from 50,706 to 51,663 miles. This represents a total increase of only 957 miles over more than four years. Such low usage suggests the bike spends significant periods stationary, which often introduces specific risks regardless of a clean MOT record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade due to age and inactivity rather than wear. Check for perished rubber seals, cracked tyres, and fuel system gumming caused by long periods of standing. The absence of MOT advisories regarding corrosion or brake binding is positive, but the low mileage means the brake fluid and oil may be chemically degraded. Verify the service history to ensure these fluids were changed regardless of the low distance covered.
