2018 KSR Moto GRS 0.1L Petrol · PO18 FUV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in August 2023 at 11,127 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a significant failure just one day prior. This suggests the owner only addressed critical defects when forced by the MOT tester. The trend is stable for now but indicates recurring mechanical issues that persisted across multiple testing intervals. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,391 miles per year with 11,127 total miles recorded. There is a notable gap in usage between September 2021 and August 2023, during which the vehicle covered only 1,448 miles. Such low usage often leads to degradation of rubber components due to age, which is evidenced by the cracked front tyre and the damaged front brake hose noted during the 2021 test. A buyer must physically scrutinise the front suspension assembly, as the offside shock absorber failed for a serious fluid leak in both 2021 and 2023. The recurrence of this fault suggests a poor previous repair or a sub-standard replacement part. You should also inspect the steering headbearing for free play, a defect previously flagged in 2021, and verify that the handlebars no longer foul the fuel tank at full lock as identified in the 2023 failure. Given the low mileage, check for perished brake hoses and degraded tyre fluid, which often suffer during long periods of inactivity.
