Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2014 Husqvarna Te?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

The 2014 Husqvarna TE passes its MOT on the first attempt 86.3% of the time, comfortably above the UK average of 80%, which suggests this bike is mechanically sound and well-maintained by its owners. With only 12.7% of vehicles ever flagged with a dangerous defect, it's a reasonably safe proposition for buyers.

These bikes are ridden lightly—the median mileage of just 2,129 miles at test time indicates they're often weekend or leisure machines rather than daily commuters, which partly explains the strong pass rate. When failures do occur, they average 0.78 per vehicle with 2.7 advisories, typically minor issues; before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection to confirm spark plugs, cables, and fuel system are in good order, as these tend to be the common wear items on bikes this age.
