2009 KTM 990SM 1.0L Petrol · HT09 LFW

The 2009 KTM 990SM presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 July 2025 at 16,139 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year run of clean MOT outcomes. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally light use for a seventeen-year-old machine. Annual increments stayed low and consistent: 11,388 miles in July 2022, 13,472 in July 2023, 14,867 in July 2024, and 16,139 in July 2025. That averages roughly 949 miles per year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The record is sparse and clean, offering no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across the period. A buyer should still inspect the bike in person given the long standing periods implied by low mileage. Seals, fork stanchions, and brake calipers can degrade from inactivity rather than wear. Check for weeping fork oil, stiff throttle and clutch actuation, and any flat-spotted tyres from prolonged storage. Although the DVSA history shows no structural or mechanical faults, the age invites scrutiny of the exhaust system for internal rust and the chassis for surface corrosion around welds. A clean MOT sheet does not certify component condition beyond the test day.
