2014 KTM 500 0.5L Petrol · EX64 AXR

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 23 January 2025 at 8,135 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend of perfection across the last five recorded tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components have not suffered from significant failure or neglect that would be flagged by standard DVSA testing equipment. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 678 miles per year. Between October 2018 and September 2021, the vehicle covered only 2,718 miles, indicating infrequent use or long periods of storage. There is a notable gap between the 2021 and January 2024 tests, during which only 1,770 miles were recorded. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and brake components, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid-related issues. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for issues associated with long-term storage and low mileage. Focus attention on dry rot in the tyres, perished brake lines, and degraded fork seals that may leak after lack of movement. Check the chain for excessive rust and the engine for oil leaks, as the MOT does not assess internal engine health or seals. Ensure the fuel and brake fluids have been replaced recently, as moisture absorption occurs in vehicles that sit for extended years between tests.
