2020 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 19 1.3L Petrol · LL20 AYO

This KTM 1290 Super Adventure S has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories across its last three tests, all passing on time. The most recent inspection on 2025-06-10—just over a year ago—confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or unresolved issues. The consistency of passing marks suggests either diligent maintenance or minimal wear, though the low mileage complicates traditional wear-and-tear expectations. The recorded mileage of 5,183 miles at the time of the 2025 test reflects an exceptionally low annual average of around 864 miles over six years, which is atypical for a high-performance adventure bike. The mileage increments between tests—just 18 miles between 2024 and 2025, and 577 miles between 2023 and 2024—indicate prolonged periods of inactivity rather than active use. This could imply storage conditions may have affected components like seals, battery health, or tyre degradation, even if the MOT tests passed without note. Given the lack of defects in the MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items that aren’t routinely tested, such as suspension bushes and coil springs, which may show fatigue despite low mileage. The brakes—while not flagged—should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, as adventure bikes often experience uneven loading. Tyres, though not explicitly mentioned, warrant scrutiny for uneven tread wear or embedded debris from storage, particularly if the bike has spent extended periods stationary. Finally, the battery and electrical connections, often neglected in low-mileage vehicles, should be tested for corrosion or degradation, as prolonged disuse can compromise reliability.
