2014 KTM 300 0.3L Petrol · KE14 AHA

The 2014 KTM 300 holds a clean roadworthy status. In the March 2023 test at 2,904 miles the DVSA examiner passed the machine with no defects recorded. Prior examinations in January 2022 at 2,465 miles and October 2018 at 1,955 miles also returned passes with zero advisories. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no worsening mechanical faults or recurring consumable neglect across the available history. Odometer readings confirm extremely low utilisation for a twelve-year-old vehicle. From the October 2018 test to the January 2022 test the recorded distance rose just 510 miles across a three-year-plus gap, then climbed 439 miles by March 2023. Such sparse annual accumulation, roughly 242 miles per year overall, points to extended storage periods between rides. The absence of any failure or advisory across these checks suggests the former keeper adhered to statutory testing despite minimal running, though it does not evidence proactive component renewal. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on standing-related degradation. The MOT record flags no binding calipers, corroded structure, or worn suspension bushes, yet prolonged inactivity commonly promotes fork seal weepage, shock absorber stagnation, and surface corrosion on frame welds. Examine brake discs for pitting, verify tyre sidewalls for cracking from age rather than tread wear, and test the chain and sprockets for stiff links. The clean advisory sheet means no documented trend of failure, but low-mileage machines often conceal intermittent faults that a static test cannot expose.
