2013 KTM 250 0.2L Petrol · R16 PED

The vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards; the most recent MOT on 28 July 2023 at 2,573 miles passed with no recorded defects, showing a stable maintenance trend after a failure earlier that month. The earlier failure on 24 July 2023 highlighted rear‑pad wear, an insecure front exhaust, and excessive front wheel‑bearing play, but those items were rectified in time for the subsequent pass, suggesting responsive upkeep. At 13 years old the recorded mileage of 2,573 miles is exceptionally low, averaging roughly 198 miles per year. The log shows a modest increase from 2,404 miles in June 2021 to 2,434 miles in August 2022, then a jump to 2,573 miles by July 2023, with an earlier reading of 3,218 miles in September 2017. No rapid accumulation is evident; the pattern points to limited use or long periods of storage rather than high‑wear operation. The sparse mileage growth aligns with the absence of recurring defects across the years. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the rear brake pads, front exhaust mounting, and front wheel bearings, as these were the only items that prompted a failure in 2023. Verify that pad thickness exceeds the 1.0 mm minimum, ensure the exhaust remains securely fixed, and check for any play or noise in the front bearings. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of corrosion or fatigue, especially given the low‑use history that can mask hidden rust. Confirm tyre tread depth and condition, and examine the overall structural integrity for any rust or damage that might have developed while the bike was idle. A thorough in‑person assessment of these components will provide confidence in the bike’s continued roadworthiness.
