2021 Royal Enfield Meteor 350 E5 0.3L Petrol · MW71 AAJ

The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 E5 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 6,570 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the only blemish being a failure on 24 November 2025 at 6,559 miles that listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately rectified by the pass one day later. Prior to that, the 9 December 2024 test at 4,920 miles also passed cleanly. The recorded mileage of 6,570 against a five-year-old machine equates to roughly 1,314 miles per year, confirming very light use. The jump from 4,920 miles in December 2024 to 6,559 miles by November 2025 adds only 1,639 miles over eleven months. Such low annual accumulation implies the bike has stood for extended periods, which can allow brake calipers to seize, tyres to degrade from static cracking, and fork seals to weep. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person for issues that MOT tests on two-wheelers may not deeply probe. Check the front and rear brake calipers for binding after standing, examine suspension linkage and shock bushes for corrosion or play, and verify the condition of brake discs for pitting. Static storage often hides oxidisation on structural fasteners and the steel exhaust, so a close look at the frame and mounting points remains prudent. Given the absence of advisories across all three entries, no recurring mechanical fault pattern exists. The single non-defect failure is not a trend. This record reflects an owner who kept the motorcycle minimally exercised yet formally tested on schedule, a favourable sign for structural and mechanical integrity at low mileage.
