2002 KTM 450EXC 0.5L Petrol · CK02 AWH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in June 2026 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a stable status following a period of recurring mechanical failures in the mid-last decade. While the history indicates past issues with wear components and bearing play, the lack of advisories in the latest inspection suggests that the current owner has addressed previous faults and is maintaining a baseline standard of upkeep. The mileage data is extremely sparse, making it difficult to establish a consistent usage pattern. Between June 2017 and June 2018, the bike covered only 508 miles, indicating very low usage over long periods. However, there is a significant gap in data between 2008 and 2016, where no mileage figures were recorded. The low figures recorded early in the vehicle's life suggest it has been stored or used infrequently, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of seals and fluids despite the low mileage-related wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the wheel and steering assemblies, as these have been recurring failure points. The tester flagged rear wheel bearing play in 2020 and again in 2023, while the front steering headbearing and front wheel bearing showed excessive play in 2019. It is vital to check for any lateral movement in the wheels or headset to ensure these bearings have been properly replaced. Additionally, the 2023 note regarding rear brake pads near the minimum limit indicates that the remaining life of all friction materials should be verified to ensure they are not nearing exhaustion again.
