2016 KTM 390 0.4L Petrol · EY16 VSL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by its most recent MOT pass on 29 May 2026 at 14,098 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the motorcycle consistently passing its inspections without any major failures over the last four years. While minor advisories persist, they do not indicate a deteriorating mechanical state, suggesting the bike has remained in functional condition despite its age. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,410 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 6,082 miles and the May 2026 test at 14,098 miles, the bike covered 8,016 miles. This consistent rate of light use typically limits mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components. However, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown, which are not captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer should focus on the recurring wheel alignment advisory, which was flagged as slightly misaligned in 2023, 2024, and 2026. This persistent issue suggests a need for a professional geometry check or inspection of the front forks and swingarm bushings for uneven wear. Additionally, the drive chain was noted as slightly loose in 2022 and 2025. A physical inspection should verify the chain for stretch, rust, and sprocket wear to ensure it has not become brittle or seized due to the low-frequency usage pattern.
