2017 KTM 300 EXC TPI 18 0.3L Petrol · YC67 ABZ

This vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-04-08 confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 1,452 miles. The consistent pass history over three tests—2022, 2024, and 2025—indicates no recurring mechanical failures, though the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear. The test cycle of roughly 12 months between checks aligns with standard practice, though the final interval (13 months) is slightly extended. No evidence suggests worsening conditions, but the extremely low mileage—just 161 miles annually—raises questions about storage conditions, which could accelerate corrosion or fluid degradation over time. The recorded mileage progression is unusually slow, with only 306 miles logged between the 2022 and 2024 tests and another 110 miles by April 2025. Such minimal usage may indicate prolonged storage, which could have left fluids stagnant or components prone to rust. The absence of mileage gaps larger than 13 months suggests the vehicle was not left unattended for extended periods, but the overall low usage pattern warrants scrutiny of consumables like brake fluid, coolant, and suspension lubrication. Without service records, there is no confirmation of regular maintenance, which is critical for a vehicle of this age. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of structural integrity, particularly around the frame and undercarriage, given the low mileage but age-related corrosion risks. The suspension—including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be checked for stiffness or leaks, as these components degrade even with minimal use. Brakes, though not flagged, may require assessment for binding calipers or warped discs, especially if the vehicle has been stored with dampness. Tyres, despite no MOT failures, should be examined for uneven wear or embedded debris from stationary use. Finally, verify fluid levels and condition, as prolonged inactivity can lead to contamination or degradation in brake fluid, oil, and coolant.
