2019 Indian Motorcycle FTR 1200 1.2L Petrol · PL19 WMX

The most recent MOT test conducted on 1 July 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the testing history from 2022 through to 2025, the vehicle demonstrates a highly stable and consistent maintenance trend. The absence of any recorded failures or advisories across multiple years suggests that the motorcycle has been maintained to a high standard or has simply been subjected to very little mechanical strain, maintaining its structural and functional integrity throughout its recent testing lifecycle. The recorded mileage of 2,511 miles is remarkably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, representing an annual average of roughly 359 miles. While this suggests minimal wear on the engine, drivetrain, and consumables, such low usage carries specific mechanical implications. Vehicles that spend significant periods stationary are prone to different types of degradation than high-mileage machines, particularly regarding the chemical stability of fluids and the physical condition of rubber components that rely on regular movement to remain supple and effective. Given the clean MOT history and the low-mileage profile, your inspection should prioritise age-related deterioration over wear-based defects. Closely examine the tyres for signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or a hardened tread surface, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Check the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or pitting and ensure the calipers are not binding, which can occur when the pistons are not regularly exercised. You should also inspect the drive chain for any signs of surface rust or excessive dryness, as infrequent use can cause lubrication to fail or become ineffective. It is essential to confirm that the service intervals have been followed based on time rather than just distance. Fluids such as engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant should be checked for clarity and moisture content, as they can degrade through oxidation and moisture absorption over several years of standing. Additionally, inspect the fork seals for any signs of weeping or oil residue, as rubber seals can shrink or harden when not regularly cycled through their full range of motion. Finally, test the 12V battery health, as long periods of inactivity are a primary cause of battery sulphation and diminished electrical reliability.
