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 maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 23 June 2025 at 21,564 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components have met all DVSA safety standards without recurring failures or deteriorating conditions over the last five testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,200 miles per year. Between March 2021 and March 2022, the bike covered only 4,518 miles, showing a pattern of minimal use. A more significant increase of 3,303 miles occurred between June 2024 and June 2025, yet this remains well within the context of a low-use vehicle. While the low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it also increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber components rather than mechanical friction. Given the clean MOT record, an in-person inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage storage. The buyer must check for dry rot in the tyres, perishation of brake lines, and the degradation of fork seals which can occur when a vehicle stands for long periods. Inspect the fuel tank for internal corrosion and the frame for any surface rust, as the MOT does not always assess the integrity of fluid systems or the chemical state of perished hoses.
