2016 KTM 300 EXC SIX Days 17 0.3L Petrol · HG66 FZX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 2,223 miles resulted in a pass, just two days after a failure involving electrical and tyre seating issues. While the bike has cleared its most recent safety requirements, the recurring nature of failures across the last three years suggests that the owner only addresses defects when forced by the MOT tester rather than performing regular preventative mechanical checks. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 222 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between September 2021 at 1,387 miles and September 2024 at 2,002 miles, where the bike covered only 615 miles over three years. This low mileage suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, drying of seals, and potential corrosion of metal surfaces, despite the low physical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must specifically inspect the steering head bearings, which were flagged as stiff or notchy in September 2024 and not explicitly mentioned as rectified in subsequent records. The history also shows a distorted front wheel and a loose rear spoke in 2023, indicating the bike may have suffered significant impacts or abuse despite the low odometer reading. Furthermore, the over-adjusted throttle cable failure in 2024 highlights a lack of basic adjustment maintenance. A thorough check of the brake system, suspension seals, and tyre condition for signs of age-related decay or perished hoses is essential before purchase.
