KTM 1190 RC8 092011 · 1.1L Petrol

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status based on a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 28 September 2023 at 25,509 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met all DVSA safety standards at that time. The lack of recurring faults across the recorded history suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained or simply not subjected to the rig road conditions that typically trigger MOT failures. The mileage data reflects an exceptionally low usage pattern, averaging approximately 1,700 miles per year over its fifteen-year life. Between September 2019 and September 2023, the bike covered only 2,634 miles, representing a rate of less than 700 miles annually. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and brake components, it also indicates the vehicle may have spent long periods stationary. Static storage on older motorcycles can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid acidity, which the MOT test does not always detect. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components sensitive to low-mileage storage and age. Priority should be given to the condition of the tyres for flat spotting or sidew cracking, as these age out regardless of tread depth. Inspect the front fork seals for perished rubber and check the brake lines for signs of internal corrosion or lack of flexibility. Since the last recorded test was nearly three years ago, the buyer should also verify the current state of the fluids and battery to ensure no significant degradation has developed in the interval since the 2023 inspection.
