2010 KTM 1190 RC8 09 1.1L Petrol · RC08 AGE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 15,530 miles passed with no recorded de or or advisories. This follows two consecutive years of clean passes in June 2023 and 2024, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have maintained consistent standards since a minor failure in mid-2022. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 971 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap between June 2022 and June 2023, where the vehicle covered only 91 miles in twelve months, followed by a more active period of 464 miles in the following year. While the low mileage suggests light use and reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long periods of standing can often lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components, fluid breakdown, and surface corrosion that a standard MOT test may not fully capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by long-term storage rather than high-mileage wear. Check fork seals for leaks and perished rubber, brake lines for cracking, and the fuel system for signs of varnish. Given the failure in June 2022 at 13,675 miles, verify that the specific cause of that failure was properly rectified and has not recurred as the bike returned to regular use. Additionally, inspect the condition of the tyres, as low-mile tires often suffer from hardening despite having ample tread depth.
