Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2019 KTM 690 Enduro R 19?

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2019 KTM 690 Enduro R 19?

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.

Based on MOT data from 115 vehicles, the 2019 KTM 690 Enduro R 19 has a first-time MOT pass rate of 89.1%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2019 KTM 690 Enduro R 19?
