Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently in a stable state of roadworthiness with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 20 October 2025 at 28,614 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2022, suggesting the motorcycle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 23 year old machine, averaging roughly 1,244 miles per year. The record shows a steady, low-volume increase in usage, growing from 26,674 miles in September 2022 to 28,614 miles by October 2025. This slow accumulation indicates the bike is likely a fair-weather cruiser or has spent significant periods in storage. A failure on 18 September 2023 at 27,167 miles was resolved within three days for the subsequent pass on 21 September 2023. While the record is remarkably clean, the low mileage and age of the vehicle necessitate a physical inspection of components that degrade regardless of use. A buyer should specifically check for perished tyre rubber, dried-out fork seals, and any signs of corrosion on the frame or chrome. The lack of MOT advisories regarding brake discs or fluid suggests a well-maintained machine, but the potential for long-term standing means the battery health and fuel system should be verified. Ensure the brakes are not sticking and the engine oil is fresh, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from infrequent fluid changes.
