1962 Raleigh Unknown 0.0L Petrol · 710 HWP

The 1962 Raleigh motorcycle shows a stable roadworthiness status. The most recent DVSA test on 14 October 2021 at 1,174 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the machine presented in sound mechanical order at that time. Relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, this test stands roughly four years and nine months old, so the certificate has long since expired and the vehicle has not been presented for inspection since. The recorded mileage of 1,174 miles against a 64 year lifespan equates to approximately 18 miles per year, confirming exceptionally light use. The single MOT entry provides no evidence of rapid accumulation or notable gaps beyond the absence of earlier records, and the clean 2021 result suggests the owner stored the machine well or rode it sparingly. A buyer should treat the low figure as typical of a long-term static classic rather than a sign of intensive wear. Given the absence of any advisories on the last test, no recurring faults or structural concerns appear in the official history. The buyer should still inspect in person for perished suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and corrosion to the frame or exhaust, as a four-year lay-up since the pass can hide dried seals and surface rust not captured by the record. Verify the physical condition of tyres, wheel bearings, and the drivetrain before any road use, since the 2021 pass offers no guarantee of current fitness. A fresh MOT will be required before the machine can be legally ridden.
