2019 Benelli BN 302 E4 0.3L Petrol · MC19 BCV

The Benelli BN 302 E4 presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 31 July 2025 at 1,696 miles, passed with zero defects. This outcome is consistent with the three preceding annual tests, all of which also recorded no advisories or failures. The maintenance trend is stable and unbroken, indicating a motorcycle that has been kept in sound mechanical condition with no recurring faults. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 2019 machine. Between the first recorded test on 15 June 2022 at 745 miles and the latest on 31 July 2025 at 1,696 miles, the odomer gained just 951 miles over more than three years. That equates to roughly 242 miles per annum. Such minimal use raises the possibility of prolonged periods standing, which can introduce its own concerns despite the clean MOT history. A buyer should still inspect the tyres carefully. Rubber ages regardless of tread depth, and tyres fitted when the bike was new in 2019 will be well past their recommended service life regardless of how little they have been used. Check the date stamps on the sidewalls and look for perishing or sidewall cracking. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time even without riding, so a fluid change is advisable if it has not been done recently. Seals, gaskets, and hoses can dry out on a machine that sits idle, so examine fork seals, brake hoses, and fuel lines for any signs of deterioration. The clean MOT record is reassuring, but it does not substitute for a hands-on inspection of a motorcycle that has spent much of its life stationary. A short test ride will reveal whether the engine, gearbox, and brakes function smoothly after long periods of inactivity. Given the negligible mileage, suspension components are unlikely to show significant wear, but a visual check for corrosion on exposed metal surfaces, particularly around the exhaust and fasteners, is prudent.
