2018 KTM 390 Duke 17 0.4L Petrol · AF18 VLH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection result indicates a lapse in immediate maintenance standards. During the test on 2 June 2026 at 2,941 miles, the motorcycle failed initially due to a noisy exhaust and insufficient reserve travel on the offside rear brake pedal. Although these issues were rectified to secure a pass later that day, the presence of a brake failure suggests that the owner did not perform a thorough pre-test check of safety-critical components. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 368 miles per year. The data shows consistent but minimal usage, moving from 2,277 miles in December 2023 to 2,836 miles in June 2024, and reaching 2,941 miles in the latest test. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often introduces risks related to flat-spotting, degraded fluids, and internal corrosion caused by the vehicle sitting stationary for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the braking system's integrity given the recent failure regarding the pedal travel. The insufficient reserve travel could indicate a leaking master cylinder, air trapped in the lines, or a perished internal seal. Furthermore, the noisy exhaust noted in June 2026 should be inspected for loose mounting or internal baffle damage that may be contributing to the defect. Given the low usage, also check the rubber components and tyres for cracking or rot, as these occurs with age regardless of remaining tread depth.
