2013 KTM 990 Adventure 12 1.0L Petrol · YC13 LCV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent test in September 2025 at 19,202 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet regulatory standards. This stable trend suggests that the previous owners have proactively maintained the motorcycle to avoid failures or de-min advisories during the inspection process. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,500 miles per year. However, a significant discrepancy exists in the data between the August 2023 test at 24,830 miles and the August 2024 test at 18,889 miles. This indicates a potential recording error or an odometer reversal in the records that requires physical verification against the instrument cluster. Aside from this specific data anomaly, the low annual annual usage suggests the vehicle may have spent long periods stationary, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown rather than wear-related failure. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must physically inspect areas susceptible to low-mileage storage. Focus on the condition of fuel lines, brake hoses, and fork seals for signs of cracking or leaking from disuse. Check the chain and sprockets for rust or seizing, as low mileage often correlates with neglected lubrication during storage periods. Additionally, inspect the frame for corrosion and the swingarm-pivot points to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the age of the machine.
