2012 KTM 990 Supermoto T 1.0L Petrol · SP62 AAJ

The 2012 KTM 990 Supermoto presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-06-16 recording a pass at 19,891 miles. However, the same date includes a failed test with no defects listed, which may indicate a procedural error or unresolved minor issue. Subsequent tests from 2024-06-15 to 2022-05-30 consistently showed passes with no defects, suggesting the vehicle has maintained compliance without significant mechanical intervention. The absence of advisories or critical failures in prior records implies no urgent concerns, though the 2025 failure warrants verification. The mileage progression shows a gradual increase, from 10,729 miles in 2022 to 19,891 miles in 2025, averaging approximately 1,421 miles annually. This low usage aligns with the bike’s age, indicating potential infrequent operation or long-term storage. The lack of rapid mileage spikes reduces wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, but also raises questions about fluid longevity and component corrosion. The MOT history is otherwise uneventful, with no recurring issues or structural concerns flagged. A buyer should inspect the suspension for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, as low-mileage vehicles may develop stiffness from inactivity. Brake systems, particularly calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as minimal use can lead to corrosion. Visual checks for rust on chassis components and exhaust systems are advisable, given the potential for prolonged storage. The clean MOT record suggests diligent maintenance, but the 2025 failure highlights the need for a pre-purchase inspection to confirm the bike’s current mechanical state.
