2017 KTM 1290 Superduke R 17 1.3L Petrol · T4 DJC

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile with no recorded defects across the entire MOT history. The most recent test on 30 March 2026 at 6,340 miles resulted in a clean pass with no advisories or failures. This indicates a consistent standard of upkeep and suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a level that meets current regulatory requirements without recurring issues. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 704 miles per year. The record shows a steady, albeit slow, progression from 5,477 miles in June 2022 to 6,340 miles in March 2026. While the data shows no sudden spikes in usage, the very low annual mileage suggests the motorcycle may have spent significant periods stationary. Such usage patterns often lead to different wear characteristics than high-mileage vehicles, specifically regarding fluid degradation or seal drying. Because the MOT record is entirely clean, there are no documented trends of mechanical failure or structural corrosion to report. However, a buyer should conduct a physical inspection of components that are not typically scrutinized during a standard MOT, such as the drive chain tension and sprocket wear, which can suffer from oxidation if the bike sits for long periods. You should also verify the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking or flat spots, as low mileage does not always equate to fresh rubber. Given the lack of reported issues with brakes or suspension in the previous tests, the mechanical integrity appears sound on paper. A thorough check of the brake fluid for moisture contamination and an inspection of the fork seals for weeping would be prudent to ensure the long periods of low usage have not compromised the hydraulic or damping systems.
