2019 KTM RC 390 18 0.4L Petrol · GV19 OPM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the latest test on 21 May 2025 at 5,445 miles passed, the tester flagged a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. This mirrors an advisory from the May 2024 test, suggesting that the owner tends to overlook consumable components until they reach the failure threshold rather than performing preventative replacements. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 778 miles per year since its registration. However, there is a significant gap in usage between the March 2022 test at 598 miles and the April 2023 test at 2,902 miles, where the bike covered over 2,300 miles in a single year. Such low mileage often leads to secondary issues like flat-spotting tyres, rubber degradation, and potential corrosion on unexposed parts, despite the low overall mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain. A buyer must physically inspect the handlebar assembly, as the May 2024 failure identified a deformed nearside clip-on and a loose clutch lever clamp. Although these were rectified for the subsequent pass, the history indicates a previous impact or significant fall that may have affected the triple clamp or fork alignment. The recurring issue with the rear tyre across 2024 and 2025 suggests the current rubber is likely aged or nearing the end of its life, which necessitates checking for cracking in the sidewalls given the low mileage.
