2012 KTM 1190 RC8 10 1.1L Petrol · OU12 AEV

The April 2024 MOT recorded at 10,251 miles passed with no defects, confirming stable roadworthiness. The July 2022 test at 9,781 miles also showed no faults, indicating a consistent maintenance record. At 14 years old, the vehicle averages only 732 miles per year, a figure far below typical usage for a machine of this age. The 17‑month interval between the 2022 and 2024 tests corresponds to a modest increase of 470 miles, suggesting the bike has spent most of its life stationary or used sparingly. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs and any signs of binding in the rear brake calipers, as these components can deteriorate even with low mileage. Inspection of the brake discs for corrosion, the state of the exhaust system for rust, and the structural integrity of the frame and swingarm is essential, since the MOT history records no explicit advisories but does not guarantee absence of hidden wear. While the clean test outcomes imply that previous owners have maintained the bike responsibly, the low annual mileage means consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades and fluid levels may be overdue for replacement. A thorough pre‑purchase check should include a visual assessment of structural rust, a functional test of the brakes, and verification of suspension movement before finalising the purchase.
