2020 Benelli Leoncino 500 Trail 0.5L Petrol · YF70 YCZ

The Benelli Leoncino 500 Trail presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clear pass in the most recent inspection on 6 November 2025. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the last three successful tests indicates that the motorcycle has been maintained to a consistent standard. The single failure recorded on 31 October 2024 at 12,384 miles appears to be a procedural or administrative anomaly, as the vehicle passed its inspection on the exact same day without any recorded defects, suggesting no underlying mechanical failure occurred at that time. The recorded mileage of 15,362 over six years averages approximately 2,560 miles per annum, which is low for a motorcycle of this category. The steady accumulation of roughly 2,700 to 3,000 miles between each annual test confirms that the machine has seen regular, light usage rather than sitting idle for extended periods. This pattern of consistent, moderate mileage is generally preferable to long-term storage, as it reduces the risk of fuel degradation, seized internal components, and perished rubber seals that often plague low-mileage examples. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the consumables that the MOT test does not fully capture, such as the state of the drive chain and sprocket teeth, which will be reaching a point of wear consistent with this mileage. While the test history shows no structural or braking issues, the exposed nature of the Leoncino chassis means you should look closely for surface corrosion on the frame welds and swingarm, particularly if the bike has been stored outdoors. Check the fork seals for any signs of weeping oil, as these components are prone to degradation on machines that experience infrequent but regular use. Overall, the history suggests a well-cared-for motorcycle that has avoided the common pitfalls of neglect.
