The most common problems on the Ktm 990 Supermoto T are tyre tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm (34 recorded failures), reflector on motorcycle missing (17), and headlamp at least one does not illuminate on dipped beam (14). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection. Many are wear-and-tear items that can be budgeted for, but a car that's already failing on multiple fronts may signal neglected maintenance.
On the safety side, the most frequently flagged dangerous fault is tyre tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm. Dangerous faults cause an immediate MOT failure and mean the vehicle is not roadworthy until repaired. If you're viewing a Ktm 990 Supermoto T with an expired or recently passed MOT, ask the seller whether any dangerous faults were found and fixed during the last test.
A typical Ktm 990 Supermoto T owner drives around 1,211 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres.

In terms of longevity, most Ktm 990 Supermoto T models stay on UK roads for around 17 years — a strong showing that suggests solid build quality and readily available parts. If you're buying one that's already approaching that window, the data suggests it has plenty of life left provided it's been maintained.
Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
