2011 Moto Guzzi California EV 1.1L Petrol · MX60 AOS

The most recent MOT test on 14 March 2026 at 25,494 miles returned a clean pass with no defects flagged. The vehicle has maintained a consistent record of roadworthiness over the last eight years, with only a single failure logged in May 2021 at 23,565 miles. That failed test also shows no specific defects on the record, suggesting an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The trend is stable, indicating the previous owner kept the machine in good order despite its age. Accumulated mileage sits at 25,494 miles for a 2011 model, translating to roughly 1,700 miles per year. This is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle. Between May 2021 and September 2023, the odometer barely moved, showing just 36 miles over two and a half years. From September 2023 through March 2026, the motorcycle covered only 529 miles across fourteen months. This pattern implies the machine has been largely dormant or used for very short commutes, which means consumables like tyres and suspension bushes likely retain their original condition, though long-term storage can introduce rubber degradation. A buyer should inspect the rubber components closely, as prolonged standing periods often cause tyre sidewall cracking and seal hardening. The 2021 failure warrants a physical check of the engine and exhaust systems to confirm no latent issues developed during the period of inactivity. Given the clean history, the primary risk lies in corrosion on the frame and suspension mounts rather than mechanical wear. A thorough pre-purchase inspection focusing on structural rust and rubber fatigue will provide the most accurate picture of the current condition.
