AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2008 Ktm has 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 5,378 miles. While it has passed most tests, the mileage anomaly and lack of recent MOT validity require thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows very low usage, averaging 2,515 miles/year, with a significant drop in annual mileage from 7,036 miles (2013-2014) to 1,879 miles (2015-2016), indicating inconsistent or potentially manipulated usage.

Things to check

  • Major brake failure (PRS: Nearside Front Front shock absorber seal) on 2014-07-05.
  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 21,351 miles over 18 years, suggesting limited use or tampering.
  • MOT expired 2017-07-13; vehicle is currently untaxed and without a valid MOT certificate.
  • First MOT not recorded until 2011-05-25, a full 3 years after registration, indicating potential non-compliance.

Working in its favour

  • No recurring major failures across different systems, indicating isolated issues.
  • The 2014-07-05 failure was immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
  • Consistent retest passes after initial failures demonstrate responsive owner action.
  • No
