1995 Moto Guzzi California 1100 1.1L Petrol · UBZ 6170

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 14 June 2024 at 30,943 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This consistency suggests a history of proactive maintenance rather than reactive repairs for mechanical failures common in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 31-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,000 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap between June 2019 and August 2021, where the vehicle recorded only 2,136 miles over two years, suggesting periods of stationary storage. Since the 2021 test, it has covered another 1,807 miles to reach the 2024 figure. While the low mileage limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals of standing often lead to degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid chemistry. Given the lack of recorded advisories, an on-site physical inspection must focus on components affected by long-term storage rather than mileage. Check for dry or cracked fuel lines, perished fork seals, and degraded brake hoses which fail regardless of low use. The buyer should also examine the frame for structural corrosion and the swingarm pivots, as the MOT test only flags rust once it reaches a significant structural threshold. Ensure the tyres are not flat-spotted or aged, as rubber often cracks despite sufficient tread depth.
