Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT on 3 August 2025 at 8,729 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2019, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has seen very little demanding use. The mileage is remarkably low for an eleven year old motorcycle, averaging roughly 794 miles per year. Between October 2021 and February 2024, the odometer moved only 8 miles, from 8,430 to 8,438. This confirms the bike spent significant periods in long term storage. While the lack of mechanical failures is positive, such prolonged inactivity often introduces specific risks that an MOT test may not fully capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by standing. Check for perished tyres and brake discs with surface corrosion, as the low mileage suggests these may be aged rather than worn. Verify that the battery is healthy and the fuel system remains free of varnish or deposits from old petrol. Inspect the fork seals for leaks and ensure the chain is properly lubricated and not seized. While the DVSA records show no structural issues or suspension failures, the lack of use can lead to dried out seals and rubber components. A thorough check of the fluid levels and a cold start test will confirm if the bike has been kept in running order during its periods of dormancy.
