Hi folks, not logged on here for years but I used to read the forum regularly when I had my Monster 600. Now looking to get another as the CB500F I've got is a great all rounder but doesn't pull the heart strings like a Ducati.

Looking at a 2011 M796 but the history since 2016 when the belts were last done at 3360 miles is non-existent and the dash was changed at a reported 7300 miles in 2017. Unclear why. Reported MOT mileage is accordingly confusing. Of course I'd get the belts changed and valves checked now but even at a good price do you reckon this is one to avoid? Thanks!
