2017 KTM 1290 Superduke R 17 1.3L Petrol · CU17 XAD

The KTM 1290 SUPERDUKE R is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT from 22 August 2025 recording a pass with zero defects at 17 327 miles. The vehicle’s maintenance trend shows improvement; the only recorded fault was an exhaust noise advisory in the August 2024 test, which is absent from the latest inspection. The interval between tests is roughly eleven months, keeping the MOT history recent and reliable. Mileage accumulation has been modest for a nine‑year‑old machine, averaging about 1 925 miles per year. The log shows a steady rise from 9 235 miles in April 2020 to 17 327 miles in August 2025, with increments of 1 250–2 000 miles each year. No sudden jumps or gaps in the records are evident, indicating consistent, low‑intensity use rather than heavy annual mileage. A prospective buyer should closely examine the exhaust system for any residual rattling or loose components, given the prior 8.1.1(a) advisory. Suspension bushes and mounting points warrant inspection for wear or cracking, as low‑mileage bikes can still develop fatigue in these areas if stored for extended periods. Brake calipers, discs, and pads should be checked for binding or uneven wear, and tyre tread depth evaluated despite the low mileage, as storage can lead to flat spots. A visual survey for corrosion on the frame, swingarm, and fasteners is advisable, together with a check of the battery condition and fluid levels (engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid) to confirm the bike has been maintained during any idle periods. Overall, the vehicle presents a solid mechanical profile with a clean recent MOT and a history of modest usage. The primary focus for a buyer is a hands‑on assessment of the exhaust, suspension, braking, and storage‑related systems to ensure the low‑mileage advantage translates into reliable performance.
