2018 KTM 390 Duke 17 0.4L Petrol · VA67 KHU

The official DVSA record for this 2018 KTM 390 Duke shows a clean inspection history across two recorded tests, indicating a stable short-term maintenance trend. In the most recent test conducted on February 4, 2023, at a recorded mileage of 12,460 miles, the motorcycle passed with zero defects or advisories noted by the examiner. This follows an identical pass outcome on February 23, 2022, where the vehicle also cleared the MOT inspection without generating any fault codes or advisory items. The vehicle displays very light usage relative to its eight-year age, accumulating approximately 1,558 miles per year. The available MOT history is remarkably sparse, containing only two recorded test events for a machine registered in 2018, which creates a significant historical data gap for the first four years of its life. Furthermore, the absence of any tests between February 2023 and the current date in August 2026 reveals a lengthy lapsed period where the machine lacked a valid MOT test certificate. Low annual mileage and extended gaps in the test record often point towards prolonged periods of inactivity rather than regular operational use. Extended storage on motorcycles typically introduces specific mechanical vulnerabilities that require physical verification. A prospective buyer must thoroughly inspect the fuel system for varnish accumulation, examine the rubber components including fork seals and coolant hoses for perishing, and check the chain and sprocket drive for surface corrosion. Brake hydraulic lines, pad friction material, and disc surfaces also demand careful physical scrutiny to ensure components have not seized or degraded from standing idle.
