KTM 350 (2016)
2016 KTM 350
CarHunch analysed 129 real MOT records for the 2016 KTM 350. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2016 KTM 350 passes its MOT first time at 89.5%, which is well above the UK average of 80%, suggesting these bikes are generally well-maintained and reliable. With only 7% ever recording a dangerous defect, it's a safe choice for buyers who prioritize vehicle integrity.
These bikes show relatively low average mileage at 2,175 miles (median), so you're likely looking at lightly used machines that haven't been thrashed. The 0.56 failures per vehicle and 2.5 advisories per vehicle are low, but a median CarHunch score of 55 indicates moderate overall condition—when shopping, inspect the specific example's service history carefully rather than relying solely on the model's strong pass rate.
What to check before buying a 2016 KTM 350
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
