2017 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 17 1.3L Petrol · GP17 JHH

The vehicle currently maintains a passed MOT status following the most recent test on 7 July 2026 at 18,429 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of worsening mechanical wear rather than improving. While the bike passed, the tester flagged pitted and scored front and rear brake discs alongside a loose rear drive chain. This follows a period of recurring issues with the exhaust system and tyre integrity, suggesting that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, component degradation is becoming more frequent. The mileage profile indicates very light usage for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 2,048 miles per year. The record shows a steady, low-intensity accumulation of miles, moving from 9,163 miles in May 2021 to 18,429 miles in July 2026. This low annual mileage often implies the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. Such patterns can sometimes lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals, which aligns with the recurring advisories regarding tyre condition and drive chain tension. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and drivetrain. The repeated advisories for pitted brake discs in the 2026 test suggest the discs may soon require replacement. The drive chain has appeared as an issue in both May 2023 and July 2026, so the tension and sprocket wear must be checked closely. Additionally, the history of a noisy exhaust dating back to April 2022 and May 2023 warrants a check for exhaust manifold leaks or structural damage to the silencer. Finally, the two-year history of an object rolling inside the rear tyre, noted in June 2024 and June 2025, indicates a potential issue with tyre carcass integrity or internal delamination. Even if the tyre was replaced, the buyer should verify that the current rear tyre is free from internal structural defects. Given the low mileage and the specific advisories recorded, focus should remain on the condition of consumables that can degrade during periods of inactivity.
