2013 KTM 125 0.1L Petrol · EU13 AHD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass in September 2023 at 9,583 miles. While the current trend appears consistent, the history shows a period of instability in 2023 where the bike failed twice before successfully passing on the same mileage reading. The lack of recorded defects on these failure reports suggests the issues may have been presentation-related or minor technicalities rather than systemic mechanical failure or structural corrosion. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 737 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the November 2020 test at 1,676 miles and the April 2022 test at 5,972 miles, indicating the vehicle sat stationary for long periods. The rapid accumulation of nearly 4,300 miles between April 2022 and September 2023 represents a sharp increase in activity. Such low-frequency use often leads to degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection focusing on signs of long-term storage. Check for perished seals, cracked brake lines, and perished fork boots which are common when a bike sits unused. Inspect the drive chain for dry spots and the brake discs for surface pitting or rust caused by infrequent use. Given the low mileage, verify the manufacture date of the tyres, as they likely exceed their recommended life span despite having significant tread depth.
