The most recent MOT test on 2025-04-22 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 1,378 miles. Over the past five annual tests, there has been a consistent pattern of pass status with no advisories or failures, suggesting the vehicle has undergone regular maintenance or has inherently low-wear components. The absence of recurring issues—such as brake binding, suspension wear, or exhaust leaks—implies that critical systems have likely been serviced or replaced proactively. However, the lack of any advisory notes means even routine components like fluid levels, tyre condition, or minor corrosion may not have been formally assessed beyond the MOT’s basic thresholds. The recorded mileage of 1,378 miles over nine years—approximately 153 miles annually—is exceptionally low for a dual-sport motorcycle of this age. This suggests the bike has either been stored for prolonged periods or used infrequently, which could accelerate degradation in components like rubber seals, battery health, and fuel system integrity. Notably, there is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation between tests, which might have indicated aggressive use or neglect. The only anomaly in the record is the duplicate entry for 2022, where the vehicle was tested twice on the same date with no defects, likely a data duplication error rather than a mechanical issue. Given the minimal mileage and clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of consumable elements that degrade over time without use, such as the battery (check for sulfation or low capacity), fuel system (for stale fuel or clogged filters), and rubber components (seat, grips, and suspension bushes for cracking or perishing). The absence of brake or suspension advisories does not preclude wear—testers may not have probed beyond the MOT’s basic checks—so the condition of brake pads, discs, and caliper seals should be verified, alongside coil spring integrity and rear shock function. Structural integrity, particularly around the frame and fuel tank, should also be examined for corrosion, as low mileage does not guarantee rust-free conditions, especially if the bike was stored in damp environments.
