2018 KTM 1290 Superduke R 18 1.3L Petrol · 2 PXN

The machine presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no active defects. The most recent test on 22 June 2024 at 10,889 miles returned a pass with no advisories recorded, following an earlier failed attempt on the same date with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the 22 June 2022 examination at 10,110 miles showed the same pass-fail pattern with no defects logged. The upkeep record is clean across all entries. The odometer shows 10,889 miles against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 1,361 miles per year. Between the June 2022 test at 10,110 miles and the June 2024 test at 10,889 miles the bike covered only 779 miles in two years. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods. Sparse testing with just two annual windows recorded gives limited visibility of consumable wear, though no tyre, brake, or suspension concerns were ever raised by testers. A buyer should still inspect the motorcycle in person for age-related degradation not captured by the MOT. Long stationary intervals promote fork seal weeping, flat-spotted tyres, and corroded brake discs or caliper pistons through lack of use. The 1290 Super Duke R's twin-cylinder layout and high-output chassis demand fresh fluid checks on clutch, coolant, and brake systems. The repeated same-day fail-pass entries with zero defects imply clerical error at the testing station, not owner neglect. Given the absent advisories, structural integrity and emissions appear sound for the age. Confirm battery condition and chain tension, as low mileage often masks these basic service items.
