2021 Royal Enfield Meteor 350 E5 0.3L Petrol · AF71 EZC

The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 E5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 10 October 2025 at 4,364 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from the prior test on 24 August 2024 at 3,022 miles. Two consecutive annual examinations with zero advisories indicates the machine has been kept to a sound standard with no worsening mechanical faults emerging. The recorded mileage shows very light use for a five-year-old vehicle. Between the August 2024 test at 3,022 miles and the October 2025 test at 4,364 miles, the bike covered just 1,342 miles over roughly fourteen months, an average near 873 miles per year. The sparse history with only two entries and no gaps in testing suggests infrequent but consistent road use rather than prolonged neglect, though the low annual figure means consumable items such as brake discs, tyres, and fork seals may show age-related degradation from standing rather than wear. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person despite the clean record. Low-mileage Enfields left unused for weeks can develop surface corrosion on exhaust and frame welds, and the single-channel ABS front caliper may bind if the piston has sat static. Check the rear suspension bushes and shock for weeping or play, and confirm the chain and sprockets are free of rust pitting from damp storage. Given the absence of any recorded advisories across both tests, no recurring defect pattern exists to flag. The verdict rests on a short but unblemished MOT trail that reflects careful ownership, with the only caveat being that minimal mileage offers limited evidence of long-term durability under heavier riding.
