The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 26 March 2026 at 2,205 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This trend of perfection across the last five tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained within operating parameters without any flagged failures or degradation during the inspection process. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 184 miles per year. Between the 2020 test at 970 miles and the March 2026 test at 2,205 miles, the bike covered only 1,235 miles over six years. This low usage frequency indicates the vehicle has likely been stored or used only for occasional purposes rather than primary transport. While this minimizes wear on the drivetrain and engine, it also suggests long periods of standing which can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components regardless of mileage-related friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related decay rather than mechanical wear. Check for cracking or drying in the tyres and brake lines, as these materials perish over time even with low mileage. Inspect the fork seals for leaks and ensure the brake fluid has not absorbed moisture or deteriorated due to inactivity. Given the long intervals between uses, verifying the condition of the fuel and the integrity of the battery is essential to ensure the vehicle remains reliable for immediate use.
