The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural corrosion and fluid degradation. While it passed the latest test in March 2026 at 3,346 miles, the tester identified new structural corrosion on the frame base in front of the lower engine mounting points. This follows previous reports of corroded suspension arms and fuel pipes in early 2025, indicating that the low-mileage environment may be contributing to oxidation and moisture-related decay despite the minimal mechanical wear. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 3,346 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 478 miles per year. This infrequent usage explains the rapid degradation of rubber-based components, such as the perished fuel cap seal and the rear tyre noted in the 2026 test. The gaps between tests, such as the 259-mile increase over the last year-long intervals, suggest the bike sits for long periods, which often leads to the observed pitted brake discs and fluctuating rear brake effort seen across the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the frame to ensure the corrosion flagged in 2026 has not compromised the structural integrity of the motorcycle. The recurring issues with direction indicators flashing at high speeds suggest a persistent wiring fault or a failing switch assembly that requires professional electrical attention. Furthermore, the traces of fluid around the front brake reservoir reported in March 2026 necessitate a close check to ensure a leak is not developing, which could lead to catastrophic brake pressure loss over time.
