The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring issue with the exhaust system. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 18,321 miles resulted in a pass, the owner had to fit noisy baffles specifically to meet standards. This follows a previous failure for a noisy exhaust in December 2024 at 14,921 miles, indicating that internal exhaust components were degrading or improperly secured prior to those inspections. The mileage profile is low for a six-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 4,500 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 3,400 miles between 2024 and 2025. This low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, but infrequent use can sometimes lead to rubber degradation or fuel issues if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should physically inspect the exhaust assembly to ensure the newly fitted baffles are a permanent fix rather than a temporary measure for a structural failure. The 2023 test also flagged a front tyre worn to the legal limit at 10,406 miles, which suggests the owner only replaces consumables when forced by a failure. Given the low mileage, it is vital to check for tyre cracking in the rubber and perished fork seals, as these components age faster than they wear through mileage alone.
