2013 KTM 990 Adventure 12 1.0L Petrol · WX13 BUW

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 31 May 2025 at 16,182 miles returned no defects or advisories. This clean sheet across multiple consecutive tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components have been maintained to a high standard without the typical degradation or recurring failures often seen in motorcycles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,245 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between December 2017 at 7,932 miles and February 2024 at 14,778 miles, during which the vehicle covered only 6,846 miles over six years. While the low mileage limits mechanical wear on the engine, drivetrain, and brakes, the long intervals suggest the bike sat for extended periods, which can lead to specific issues with rubber-based components and fluid-related oxidation. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must physically inspect for issues associated with low-mileage storage. Check for perished rubber on the brake lines, fork seals, and tyres, which age regardless of tread depth. Examine the chain for signs of dry rust and verify that the brake fluid has not absorbed too much moisture. Since the MOT does not cover deep mechanical health or fluid quality, a thorough inspection of the suspension seals and gaskets is necessary to ensure the bike has not suffered from long periods of inactivity.
