The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of neglect regarding light-related components. While the most recent test on 29 July 2024 at 697 miles passed, it followed an immediate failure just six days prior at 684 miles. That failure was caused by incorrect indicator light colours, a discoloured rear stop lamp, and under-inflated tyres. This suggests that the previous owner only addressed obvious lighting defects when forced by a failing MOT result. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old motorcycle, recording only 697 miles to date. There is a significant two-year gap between the July 2022 test at 572 miles and the July 2024 tests, during which only 125 miles were covered. This pattern indicates the vehicle has spent long periods stationary. Such low usage reduces drivetrain wear but often leads to the degradation of rubber components, flat spotting on tyres, and corrosion on brake surfaces that are not reflected in the odometer. A buyer must inspect the physical condition of all plastic lenses and housings due to the recurring fading of the indicators and stop lamp noted in both 2022 and 2024. Because the bike has sat for extended periods, a thorough inspection should check for perished sidewalls, seized brake calipers, and rusted brake discs. The under-inflated tyres flagged in 2024 further suggest a lack of basic pre-ride checks during the periods of storage.
