2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan 20 0.4L Petrol · RE71 FBA

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 13 November 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents a positive maintenance trend when compared to the October 2024 inspection, which noted specific mechanical concerns. The absence of any new issues in the latest report suggests that the vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition and that previous points of concern have likely been rectified. With a recorded mileage of 9,310 miles over approximately five years, this motorcycle has been used sparingly, averaging roughly 1,862 miles per year. While this low mileage implies minimal wear on the engine internals, drivetrain, and suspension components, it also indicates that the vehicle may have spent significant periods stationary. Low usage vehicles are often more susceptible to issues arising from inactivity rather than mechanical fatigue. Regarding the previous advisories, the buyer should verify that the rear wheel bearing was replaced and the fuel tank vent cleared. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic humming or feel for instability in the rear end, which could indicate a persisting bearing issue. Ensure the engine runs smoothly without hesitation or stalling, as a blocked vent can cause vacuum issues in the fuel tank that affect fuel delivery and engine performance. Due to the low annual mileage, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation. Examine the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, as rubber hardens over time regardless of tread depth. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding, which is common for bikes left standing. Finally, verify the service history to ensure oil and filter changes have been performed based on calendar intervals rather than mileage, and test the battery health to ensure it has not suffered from deep discharge.
