2017 Husqvarna 701 Enduro 2017 0.7L Petrol · EX17 TXT

The most recent MOT test on 2026-07-24 confirms this 2017 Husqvarna 701 Enduro remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded in the June 2022 test at 10,198 miles. The absence of advisories or failures across all four recorded tests—including a double entry in July 2020 at just 1,668 miles—suggests a stable maintenance history with no recurring mechanical issues. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions, suspension integrity, and braking systems has been consistently verified, though the lack of advisories does not preclude underlying wear that hasn’t yet reached MOT failure thresholds. The recorded mileage pattern reveals an unusually low annual average of approximately 1,133 miles, with a notable gap between the July 2020 test (1,668 miles) and the June 2021 test (8,324 miles), indicating the vehicle may have stood unused for nearly a year. This prolonged inactivity could accelerate degradation of components like fuel lines, battery health, and suspension seals, even if no MOT failures were recorded. The double MOT entry in July 2020 at identical mileage further suggests the test centre may have flagged administrative or procedural inconsistencies rather than mechanical concerns. Given the vehicle’s low mileage and lack of MOT failures, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the battery, which may have suffered from extended periods of disuse. The fuel system—including hoses, filters, and carburettor—should be checked for dry rot or clogging, particularly if the bike was stored without regular use. While the suspension and brakes have passed MOTs without fail, a thorough examination of bushings, coil springs, and hydraulic lines is warranted, as off-road use can accelerate wear even at low mileages. Finally, the chain and sprocket condition should be assessed, as low-mileage bikes often experience premature corrosion or stretch due to infrequent lubrication.
