2016 KTM 690 0.7L Petrol · GX16 AYO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass on December 12, 2025, at 5,276 miles. This most recent inspection showed no recorded defects, indicating an improving trend compared to previous years where minor hardware issues were identified. While the history shows intermittent failures regarding external components, the current state suggests that the owner has addressed the necessary repairs to maintain the vehicle to test standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 528 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the April 2022 test at 3,879 miles and the May 2024 test at 4,327 miles, representing only 448 miles covered over a two-year period. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, such long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, and seal corrosion that MOT records cannot capture. A buyer should focus physical inspection on the exhaust system, as the offside rear exhaust was flagged as noisy during the May 2024 test. Despite the subsequent pass, the brackets and mounting should be checked for secure fitment to prevent vibration. The recurring issues with missing reflectors and illegible plates in 2022 and 2024 suggest a history of neglect regarding minor external hardware. Given the low usage, a thorough check of tyre sidew cracking and brake fluid moisture is essential, as these components have likely aged out due to time rather than distance.
