2012 KTM 1190 RC8 10 1.1L Petrol · OU12 ADO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its most recent certification. In the test dated 31 August 2022 at 9,515 miles, the motorcycle passed with no defects recorded, indicating that it met all safety and emissions standards at that specific time. However, because no tests have been performed for nearly four years, the current roadworthiness of the machine cannot be verified without a fresh inspection. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 680 miles per year. This low usage pattern suggests the bike has spent significant periods in storage rather than being subjected to high-frequency daily road use. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, the significant time gap between the 2022 test and the current date of 2026 indicates the vehicle has likely sat stationary for long intervals, which introduces specific mechanical risks independent of mileage. A buyer must focus on signs of age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear from travel. Inspect the tyres for dry cracking and flat spots caused by prolonged standing, as rubber degrades chemically on low-mileage stationary vehicles. The suspension forks should be checked for perished seals, and the brake lines require inspection for internal corrosion or perished rubber. Given the lack of recent data, the fluid levels and condition of the brake and coolant must be verified to ensure moisture ingress has not compromised internal components during the years of inactivity.
