1985 Kawasaki KL250 0.2L Petrol · B723 BYA

The maintenance trend remains entirely stable, with the motorcycle passing every recorded MOT without a single defect. The most recent test on 23 October 2021 at 18,081 miles yielded a clean pass, indicating sound mechanical condition at that time. However, this certificate is now nearly five years expired, meaning the machine lacks a current roadworthiness assessment as of today's date in July 2026. At roughly 41 years old with 18,081 recorded miles, the annual mileage averages a mere 441 miles, reflecting exceptionally light use. The chronological data reveals a significant anomaly in the 2018 test, where the odometer read 19,053 miles, yet the subsequent 2020 and 2021 tests recorded 18,061 and 18,081 miles respectively. This discrepancy suggests either a replacement speedometer or an erroneous data entry during the 2018 submission. Furthermore, an eight-year gap exists between the 2009 and 2017 tests, and the machine has not been tested since late 2021, implying prolonged periods of stationary storage. Despite the absence of flagged faults, the extended stationary periods inherent to such low mileage demand a thorough physical inspection. A buyer must scrutinize the structural integrity of the frame and suspension components, checking for corrosion that often plagues machines left standing. Tyres and rubber seals require close examination, as perished rubber and flat-spotted tyres pose immediate failure risks regardless of tread depth. The fuel system and carburettor will likely suffer from stale fuel deposits, potentially causing running issues. Finally, the braking system needs assessment for binding calipers and corroded brake discs, common afflictions on motorcycles that have sat idle for extended durations.
