2022 KTM 125 Duke 22 0.1L Petrol · PF22 LZL

The most recent MOT test conducted on 6 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. Based on this recent record, the maintenance trend appears stable, indicating that the vehicle was in a compliant state at the time of inspection. The absence of any noted mechanical or structural failures suggests that the motorcycle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies current safety requirements without any immediate remedial work being flagged by the tester. The recorded mileage of 6,222 miles for a four-year-old vehicle represents a very low annual usage rate of approximately 1,556 miles per year. This pattern of low mileage suggests the vehicle has been used for occasional leisure rather than regular commuting, or it may have spent extended periods in storage. While this typically means there is less mechanical wear on the engine, piston rings, and drivetrain, low-use vehicles are susceptible to different types of degradation that are not strictly related to distance travelled. Because the MOT history is clean and the mileage is low, your physical inspection should prioritise age-related degradation over wear-based components. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or a hardened tread surface, as rubber can lose its elasticity and grip over time even if the tread depth is high. Inspect the drive chain for signs of surface corrosion or stiffness caused by standing, and check the brake discs for any pitting or heavy oxidation. During a test ride, listen for any irregular noises from the suspension or wheel bearings, as seals can dry out and fail if the vehicle is not regularly exercised. Additionally, you must verify the condition of the consumables and electrical health. Low-usage motorcycles often suffer from battery degradation due to long periods of inactivity; ensure the 12V battery is holding a strong charge and that the charging system is operational. Check the brake fluid and engine oil for signs of moisture contamination or breakdown, as these fluids degrade chemically over time regardless of mileage. It is essential to cross-reference the service book to confirm that time-based maintenance intervals have been followed, as oil and coolant changes should be performed annually to prevent internal component damage.
