The motorcycle currently holds a clean MOT status following the pass recorded on 10 January 2025. This most recent inspection indicates that the machine met all statutory roadworthiness standards without any identified defects or advisories. The absence of recorded failures or warnings at the latest test point suggests a stable maintenance condition, reflecting a vehicle that has been kept in a functional state for its most recent period of operation. With a total of 34,787 miles accumulated over 27 years, the vehicle averages approximately 1,288 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile is typical for a sports motorcycle of this vintage, though it necessitates careful scrutiny regarding long-term storage. Machines that remain stationary for extended periods often suffer from fuel system degradation, internal corrosion within the engine, and the hardening of rubber seals or hoses. The current record is exceptionally sparse, which prevents the identification of long-term mechanical trends but highlights the need for a thorough physical assessment of non-MOT items. Prospective buyers should prioritise a detailed inspection of the fuel tank for internal corrosion and ensure the carburettors have been cleaned or rebuilt to account for potential varnish buildup from intermittent use. While the MOT history is clear, the age of the machine means that critical components like brake hoses, suspension seals, and headstock bearings may be original and nearing the end of their functional service life. Check the condition of the chain and sprockets for signs of surface rust or seized links, as these are common indicators of prolonged inactivity. Verify that the electrical charging system operates correctly, as the battery and regulator-rectifier are frequent failure points on this specific model when the motorcycle has not been used regularly.
