2012 KTM 1190 RC8 09 1.1L Petrol · OU12 AEC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 8 August 2025 at 14,733 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the motorcycle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal safety requirements, with no recurring mechanical or structural failures identified during the latest testing period. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,052 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between April 2019 and May 2018, where the mileage jumped from 10,480 to 13,958 miles, followed by much slower accumulation. Between July 2022 and August 2025, the bike covered only 246 miles over three years. This low-use pattern suggests the vehicle has spent long periods stationary, which can lead to specific degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical wear-and-tear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components associated with low-mileage storage. While the MOT record is clean, the tester must check for dry rot in tyres, perished rubber brake lines, and seized calipers that often result from lack of movement. Given the long intervals between rides, the condition of the drive chain and sprockets should be scrutinized for oxidation or surface rust. The suspension seals should also be inspected for leaks, as fork seals can dry out and crack when the bike is not used regularly.
