2019 Vmoto Soco TS 1200 R Electricity · WJ69 ONB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed the most recent test in October 2024 at 9,923 miles, the previous failure just one month prior reveals a neglect of critical safety components. The trend shows that parts like brakes and tyres were only addressed once they reached the legal failure threshold, suggesting the previous owner ignored developing wear and tear until forced into action by the MOT testing cycle. At 9,923 miles over seven years, the motorcycle shows significantly low annual mileage, averaging approximately 1,418 miles per year. This low usage suggests infrequent riding, yet the gap between the June 2023 test at 7,307 miles and the September 2024 failure at 9,909 miles shows the vehicle covered only 2,602 miles in over sixteen months. Such long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion of metal surfaces despite the low odometer reading. A prospective buyer must inspect the front braking system closely, as the record shows pads were near the minimum limit in 2023 and failing at under 1.0mm in 2024. The tester also flagged a light misting of oil on the front forks during the October 2024 inspection, which indicates early stage seal failure that will eventually lead to a leak and poor suspension performance. Given the history of replacing tyres only at the legal limit, the current rubber compound should be checked for cracking or flat spotting, which often affects low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
