2012 KTM 690 SMC R 12 0.7L Petrol · OU12 AEJ

The vehicle's MOT record presents a consistently clean history with no defects recorded across all tests from 2022 to 2025. The most recent test in June 2025 at 12,857 miles resulted in a pass, though a same-day fail with no defects listed suggests a minor administrative or rectifiable issue was swiftly addressed. The maintenance trend is stable and unremarkable, with no indication of worsening mechanical conditions. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging under 1,000 miles per year. The recorded mileage shows a gradual increase from 10,240 miles in March 2022 to 12,857 miles in June 2025, indicating light, consistent use without any periods of rapid accumulation. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows only 341 miles added, which may reflect reduced usage or seasonal storage. Given the absence of any flagged defects, the primary concerns for a buyer stem from the vehicle's age and low mileage rather than any documented faults. I recommend a thorough in-person inspection focusing on components prone to deterioration from standing, such as rubber hoses, seals, and tyres for perishing. Brake discs and pads should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, and the suspension bushes and fork seals examined for leaks. The battery condition and fuel system integrity are also worth verifying due to potential inactivity.
