MV AGUSTA BRUTALE2016 · 0.8L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with an improving maintenance trend following a minor mechanical failure. The most recent test on 31 August 2024 at 6,800 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding a slightly loose drive chain. This resolves a condition previously noted during the August 2022 failure, suggesting that the drivetrain requires periodic adjustment but does not currently suffer from systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 680 miles per annum. Between the April 2021 test at 4,731 miles and the August 2024 test at 6,800 miles, the bike covered only 2,069 miles over three years. This low usage indicates minimal wear on consumable items like brake pads and tyres, though the long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and fluid chemistry, which are not fully captured by the MOT record. A buyer must physically inspect the drive chain and sprocket assembly, as these components were flagged for adjustment in both 2022 and 2024. Given the low mileage, the inspection should also focus on flat spots on tyres and potential corrosion on the brake discs or seized calipers from the vehicle sitting stationary. The 2022 failure regarding a non-conforming registration plate and incorrectly positioned rear reflector indicates minor assembly oversight was previously present, but the buyer should verify all lighting and reflective fittings meet current legal standards.
