The most recent MOT test on August 2nd, 2025, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 11,135 miles. The overall maintenance trend is stable, with only one minor advisory—exhaust noise—appearing in the 2024 test. This suggests consistent compliance with MOT standards, though the 2024 noise issue warrants further scrutiny. No recurring failures or advisories indicate neglected components, but the absence of pre-MOT servicing records means hidden wear cannot be ruled out. The recorded mileage of 11,135 miles over eight years—approximately 1,392 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The gaps between tests are regular, with no sudden spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity, though the 2021 test occurred slightly out of sequence (September instead of August). This pattern could imply the bike was stored or used lightly for extended periods, which may have mitigated some wear but also risks corrosion or degraded fluids. The low mileage does not automatically signal neglect, but it does mean consumables like tyres, brake pads, and chain may have exceeded their expected lifespan without heavy use. Given the single advisory for exhaust noise in 2024, a buyer should prioritise inspecting the muffler system, particularly for leaks or damaged mounting brackets. The absence of brake-related advisories does not preclude wear—rear binding was not flagged, but pads and discs should still be checked for uneven thickness or glazing. With such low mileage, suspension bushes and coil springs may show early signs of drying or cracking, especially if the bike has been stored in damp conditions. Finally, the frame and fuel tank should be examined for corrosion, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust formation in critical areas.
