2018 Husqvarna FE 501 2019 0.5L Petrol · CA18 AAZ

The most recent MOT test in July 2024 at 73,843 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming the motorcycle met all statutory requirements at that point. The maintenance trend appears stable, as both recorded tests show no failures or advisories. However, the sparse history limits a full assessment of long-term care. The mileage pattern raises significant questions. The November 2022 test showed only 1,826 miles, suggesting very light use over the first four years. By July 2024 the odometer read 73,843 miles, an increase of over 72,000 miles in roughly 20 months. This represents an exceptionally high annual rate of around 43,000 miles, far exceeding typical usage for this type of vehicle. Such rapid accumulation implies sustained high-speed or off-road operation, which accelerates wear on all mechanical components. Given the extreme mileage jump and lack of intermediate MOT records, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection. Focus on the engine and transmission for signs of excessive wear, oil leaks, or abnormal noise. Check the suspension forks and rear shock for damping performance and seal integrity. Inspect the brake discs for scoring and measure pad thickness. Examine the chain and sprockets for stretch and hooking. Also verify the condition of the frame and swingarm for any cracks or corrosion, particularly if the bike has been used off-road.
