The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of unaddressed minor defects. While the most recent test in August 2024 at 31,314 miles resulted in a pass, the recurring noisy exhaust fault appeared in every annual inspection since at least 2020. This suggests that while the exhaust system is functional for safety standards, the previous owner has opted not to rectify the underlying cause of the noise or vibration over several years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between July 2021 at 25,022 miles and July 2022 at 30,856 miles, where the vehicle covered over 5,000 miles in a single year. Since then, usage has dropped drastically, with only thirty miles recorded over the last two years. This low frequency increases the risk of rubber degradation, seal drying, and fluid stagnation rather than mechanical mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the exhaust system to determine if the noise is a simple baffle issue or a deeper structural failure. The 2022 advisory also flagged a loose drive belt and pulley alongside an oil misting offside front shock absorber. These should be verified to ensure the leak has not progressed to a seal failure that would compromise suspension performance. Given the long periods of standing, check for sidewall cracking on the tyres and corrosion on the brake discs, which are common issues for low-mileage vehicles of this age.
