1984 Kawasaki KE125 0.1L Petrol · A709 GDD

The Kawasaki KE125 shows a passed roadworthiness status as of the 29 June 2023 test at 12,843 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The most recent examination returned no defects, though the same date also logged a failed test at identical mileage with no defects recorded, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the 24 March 2022 test at 12,544 miles also passed cleanly. The odometer sat at 12,544 miles in March 2022 and rose only 299 miles to 12,843 miles by June 2023, confirming very light use at roughly 306 miles per year over the machine's 42-year life. Such low accrual reflects either gentle recreational riding or extended periods in storage. The record is sparse with just three entries and no advisories or defects, so no wear trend can be quantified from the data alone. A buyer should still inspect the bike in person for age-related deterioration the MOT does not capture. Standing vehicles commonly develop perished suspension bushes, seized calipers, and corroded exhaust or frame sections despite a clean test sheet. The duplicate 29 June 2023 pass and fail at 12,843 miles suggests clerical error at the testing station, but verify the V5C and physical condition match the recorded mileage. Check brake discs for pitting, coil springs for fatigue, and structural integrity around the swinging arm and steering head. Low mileage over four decades offers no guarantee against rubber perishing or internal engine corrosion from inactivity. A pre-purchase inspection by a motorcyclist-trained technician remains prudent.
