The Ktm 1090 Adventure R 18 has an overall MOT pass rate of 90.3% across 649 real MOT tests — comfortably above the UK average, which puts it among the more reliable models on UK roads.

A typical Ktm 1090 Adventure R 18 owner drives around 1,751 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres.
