1987 Kawasaki VN750 0.8L Petrol · D939 YNO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in February 2024. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the anomalous failure on January 30, 2024, at 31,399 miles is unexplained given that no defects were recorded on that specific entry. The subsequent pass just six days later suggests either an administrative error or a minor testable issue that was immediately rectified without indicating a pattern of mechanical decline. The recorded mileage of 31,408 miles over 39 years reflects an exceptionally low annual average of approximately 805 miles per year. This low usage suggests the motorcycle has been kept in seasonal storage or remained stationary for long periods. The nine-mile gap between the January 2024 failure and the February 2024 pass indicates minimal activity during that period, and the two-year gap since the last MOT test suggests the vehicle may have sat unused for the last sixteen months. Such low mileage on a vehicle of this age often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection focused on age-related decay that the MOT record cannot capture. Prioritize the condition of the brake lines, fork seals, and tyres, as these materials often become brittle or crack from age despite low mileage. Inspect the structural integrity of the frame for hidden corrosion, particularly where moisture may collect during long periods of inactivity. Given the long intervals between use, verify the fuel system is free of varnish and ensure that the brake calipers have not seized due to lack of movement.
