2010 MV Agusta Brutale 989 R 1.0L Petrol · YN60 DVA

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift in its mechanical condition. On 30 April 2026, at 5,180 miles, the motorcycle passed despite a noted noisy offside rear exhaust. This represents the first defect recorded in nearly eleven years of clean testing, suggesting that while maintenance remained stable until recently, the exhaust system is now beginning to show signs of fatigue after long periods of low use. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 324 miles per year. The data shows consistent, minimal usage; for instance, the bike covered only 11 miles between the April 2017 and July 2020 tests, and just 334 miles between April 2023 and April 2026. While this suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such long intervals where the vehicle sits stationary often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry that mileage figures alone cannot reflect. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the exhaust system to determine if the noise is due to a loose bracket, internal baffle failure, or structural corrosion. Given the low mileage, the inspection should also focus on perished tyres, degraded brake lines, and seized brake calipers which frequently fail with age rather than distance traveled. The lack of structural advisories in the history suggests the frame remains sound, but the recent exhaust fault highlights the need to be vigilant regarding emerging issues on a vehicle that has been infrequently driven.
