Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2017 Husqvarna Te 300i 2018?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2017 Husqvarna Te 300i 2018?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

This 2017 Husqvarna TE 300i is a dependable bike, passing its MOT on the first attempt 89.1% of the time—well above the UK average of 80%. The 7.1% dangerous defect rate is acceptably low, so safety issues aren't a significant concern for this cohort.

These machines typically clock up modest mileage, averaging 2,888 miles at test, which is low for the age and suggests many are weekend or leisure bikes rather than daily commuters. When failures do occur, they're minor (0.39 per vehicle on average), but advisories are more common at 1.6 per bike—so budget for some routine maintenance. Check the brake system and lights carefully during your pre-purchase inspection, as these account for the bulk of advisory-level wear.
