Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean MOT pass on 16 June 2025 at 37,048 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a minor failure just one week prior on 9 June 2025 at 36,965 miles due to incorrect headlamp aim. This failure was a simple adjustment issue rather than a mechanical defect, and the owner was able to rectify it immediately for the re-test. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,646 miles per year. Data shows consistent but minimal usage, with only 3,764 miles covered between the April 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 3,613 miles in the year-long period prior. While this low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based components, fluid seals, and tyre carcasses due to long periods of stationary time. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the April 2024 test at 33,284 miles flagged front brake pads reaching their minimum limit. Given the low annual mileage, the discs should be checked for pitting or corrosion which often occurs when a vehicle sits without use. Additionally, inspect the age of the tyres and suspension seals for cracking or dry rot, as these components fail through age on low-mileage vehicles regardless of tread depth.
