Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test on June 17, 2026. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern where the owner addresses specific defects immediately following failure. While the most recent test failed due to a non-functional stop lamp, the fault was rectified within four days to achieve a clean pass. This suggests that the current keeper is reactive to safety-critical lighting requirements rather than allowing minor electrical faults to persist. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging 1,440 miles annually. Between May 2024 at 12,828 miles and May 2025 at 14,034 miles, the bike covered only 1,206 miles. This consistent low usage indicates the vehicle is likely used for seasonal leisure. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it increases the risk of flat-spotted tyres, perished seals, and brake fluid degradation due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the electrical system, as the record shows recurring issues with the dipped headlamp and stop lamp circuitry. The failure in May 2024 also noted a noisy exhaust, which warrants a close look for manifold leaks or loose mounting that may have been tightened since then. Given the low mileage, verify the condition of the rubber components for cracking and check the brake calipers for seized pistons, as these components often age faster than they wear through use.
