2021 KTM 1290 Superduke R 21 1.3L Petrol · CY21 ACF

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on 14 July 2026 at 7,962 miles. This recent inspection recorded no defects, indicating an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous testing cycle. The mechanical issues identified two years ago have been addressed, leaving the motorcycle meeting all current safety and environmental standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,592 miles per year. Between the test on 30 March 2024 at 7,816 miles and the July 2026 test, the vehicle covered only 146 miles. This minimal usage suggests the bike has been used sporadically or kept in storage for long periods. Such low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry despite the low physical wear on mechanical parts. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of the tyres, as the March 2024 test flagged a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. While this was likely replaced since, the low mileage means the current tyres may suffer from flat spotting or dry cracking due to age. Given the intervals between use, a thorough check of the drive chain, brake fluid moisture, and suspension seals is necessary to ensure that components have not suffered from long periods of inactivity.
