2012 KTM 250 EXC 12 0.2L Petrol · FJ12 KCK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 28 February 2025. At 3013 miles, the motorcycle passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met the minimum standards at the time of the test despite the significant age gap between testing intervals. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 215 miles per year. A notable ten-year gap exists between the April 2015 test at 1,377 miles and the February 2025 test at 3013 miles. This interval suggests the bike likely spent long periods in storage rather than undergoing regular road use. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, long stationary periods often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry that mileage cannot reflect. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components that suffer from age rather than distance. Check for perished or cracking in fuel lines, brake hoses, and suspension fork boots, as these dry out over a decade of inactivity. The front fork seals should be inspected for leaks or scoring, as static seals can fail when not cycled regularly. Additionally, verify the condition of the tyres for flat spotting or hard rot, as low mileage often masks aged rubber compounds despite sufficient tread depth.
