2021 Benelli TRK 502 X E5 0.5L Petrol · GD21 KWO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on 17 June 2025 at 13,408 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of instability marked by a failure just one week prior. At 13,096 miles, the tester identified a serious fluid leak from the nearside front shock absorber and contamination on the nearside front brake pads. These critical faults were addressed to achieve the subsequent re-test. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,682 miles per year. Between the June 2024 test at 9,364 miles and the June 2025 tests, the vehicle covered 3,742 miles. While the low usage suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, the sudden failure of a shock absorber at such low mileage often indicates that rubber seals may have suffered from degradation or dry rot if the bike sat stationary for long periods between rides. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension assembly to ensure the replacement shock absorber has been fitted correctly and shows no signs of weeping. The previous contamination of brake pads in 2025 suggests a possible seal failure or fluid leak that requires a thorough check of the brake caliper and master cylinder for oil residue. Additionally, the 2024 advisory regarding a slightly loose drive chain indicates that basic maintenance should be verified for proper tension and stretch, as low-mileage bikes can sometimes suffer from neglected lubrication schedules.
