2002 CCM Dual Sport 0.6L Petrol · NL52 RNA

The 2002 CCM Dual Sport holds a current MOT certificate valid until August 2025, confirming its roadworthiness status. Both recorded tests show a stable maintenance trend with no defects logged, indicating consistent care during the periods of inspection. At 24 years old with just 14,381 miles recorded, the machine averages fewer than 600 miles annually. This exceptionally low usage pattern suggests either light use or extended periods of inactivity. Between the May 2023 test at 14,162 miles and the August 2024 test at 14,381 miles, only 219 miles were added over 15 months. While this low-mileage history reduces wear on consumables and mechanical components, it raises concerns about potential deterioration from prolonged standing. Despite clean MOT records, the age and low usage warrant careful attention to corrosion risks and component degradation. Inspect the exhaust system thoroughly for internal rust or perforation, particularly at joints and brackets. Check suspension bushes and linkages for stiffness or cracking, as infrequent movement can cause rubber components to deteriorate. Examine brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or seized pistons, especially if the bike has sat unused for weeks. The engine internals should also be verified for proper lubrication and sealing, given the long intervals between significant use. Tyres require close scrutiny regardless of tread depth, as rubber compounds degrade over time. Look for sidewall cracking or hardening that could compromise handling. While the MOT history shows no structural issues, a detailed examination of the frame and swingarm for hidden corrosion or stress fractures is advisable. The absence of recorded defects reflects positively on the bike's condition, but the combination of age and low mileage means a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection remains essential.
