2016 Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber 0.9L Petrol · CY16 PBU

The Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber presents a clean roadworthiness status. The April 2026 test at 7,450 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history is stable with no advisories or failures at any stage. Prior tests in June 2023 at 4,834 miles, June 2022 at 806 miles, and July 2021 at 680 miles all returned passes with no defects noted, showing consistent mechanical condition over the five-year span. The mileage pattern reflects extremely light use for a ten-year-old machine. The record shows only 7,450 miles total, averaging roughly 745 miles per year. A notable jump occurred between the July 2021 test at 680 miles and the June 2023 test at 4,834 miles, adding over 4,000 miles across a two-year gap with no 2024 or 2025 entries logged. The bike then covered 2,616 miles by April 2026. Such low annual use with long standing periods suggests the previous owner stored the machine for extended spells rather than running it daily. With no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across any test, the DVSA record alone gives no cause for concern on those fronts. A buyer should still inspect the bike in person for perished rubber components, fork seal weeping, and surface rust on the frame or exhaust that a pass test would not necessarily flag. Long idle periods at low mileage raise the risk of hardened tyres, stale brake fluid, and seized cables despite the clean MOT trail. Given the sparse but unblemished history, the V9 Bobber reads as a genuinely low-use example cared for well enough to clear every test first time. The absence of recurring faults points to no worsening mechanical trend. A pre-purchase check should focus on consumable age rather than wear, since time and storage likely degraded parts more than distance ever did.
