2016 KTM 450 0.4L Petrol · LL16 FLJ

Extremely low usage defines this vehicle's history, with the most recent MOT passed on 17 June 2026 without any recorded defects. The testing trend shows a transition from initial compliance issues in 2019 to a period of consistent passes with recurring advisories regarding its off-road configuration. While the 2019 failure involved a major defect regarding an illegible rear registration plate and an incorrect headlamp bulb pattern, the subsequent records from 2022 through 2026 show a stable pattern of roadworthiness, albeit with repeated notes regarding the absence of indicators and rear footrests, which are noted as not required for this single-seat off-road type machine. The recorded mileage of 1,521 miles against a ten-year age profile represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 152 miles. This exceptionally low mileage indicates the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary rather than in regular use. Mechanically, such infrequent operation can lead to the stagnation of fluids and the potential for seals to dry out, though the MOT records do not specifically flag any leaks or fluid-related failures. The gap in testing between 2019 and 2022 suggests periods where the vehicle may have been off the road for extended durations. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the brake system, as multiple tests between 2022 and 2023 noted an inability to obtain stable brake test readings, despite the performance being deemed acceptable. During a test ride, it is essential to check for any inconsistent braking feel, sudden grabbing, or lack of modulation when applying pressure to the lever. While the most recent tests show no such issues, the history of unstable readings warrants a physical inspection of the brake pads, discs, and calipers for any signs of uneven wear or surface corrosion resulting from long periods of inactivity. Given the off-road specification and the advisory regarding the tyre type, the condition of the rubber and the integrity of the wheels should be assessed. Although the tyres are noted as road-legal off-road types, the low mileage means they may have aged through time rather than tread wear. Check for any signs of sidewall cracking or perishing. Additionally, because the vehicle is designed for off-road use with specific lighting configurations, ensure that the existing headlamp and lighting setup functions correctly and matches the bulb pattern requirements that caused a failure in 2019.
