2019 KTM RC 390 18 0.4L Petrol · OV68 JVG

The most recent MOT test on 1 December 2025 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy at 25,096 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests a stable maintenance trend over the past year, as both the July 2024 and October 2022 tests also passed without issues—despite the duplicate entries indicating a retest at each interval. The absence of recurring faults or advisories implies that any necessary servicing has been conducted promptly, though the lack of specific defect details means potential hidden wear cannot be ruled out entirely. The recorded mileage of 25,096 miles over seven years—approximately 3,585 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the bike’s sporty nature. The gap between the October 2022 and July 2024 tests (7,823 miles in 19 months) and the subsequent 3,529 miles in the following 15 months suggests periods of inactivity rather than consistent use. Such low mileage could indicate storage without regular operation, which may have contributed to minor wear in components like throttle bodies, fuel lines, or battery health—not issues that would typically appear on an MOT but worth verifying. Given the lack of MOT-reported faults, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components prone to neglect in low-mileage scenarios. The suspension geometry, particularly rear linkage and steering head bearings, should be checked for stiffness or play, as these can degrade even with minimal use. Brake calipers and pads, while not failed on test, may show uneven wear if the bike was stored with the front wheel off the ground. The chain and sprocket condition should be inspected for rust or elongation, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate corrosion. Finally, the battery and electrical connections—often overlooked in low-mileage bikes—should be tested for voltage drop and terminal corrosion, as these can develop silently over time.
