1988 KAWASAKI GPZ600R0.6L PETROL

The roadworthiness of this motorcycle is uncertain due to a complete lack of MOT data for the past thirteen years. The last recorded test occurred in September 2013 at 48,382 miles, which resulted in a pass despite a minor exhaust leak and a shortened clutch lever. Prior to this, the vehicle showed a fluctuating maintenance trend with a significant failure in 2013 involving critical brake and suspension defects. Because no tests have passed since 2013, there is no official evidence to confirm the current mechanical integrity or safety status. The vehicle exhibits exceptionally low mileage for its 38-year age, averaging only 1,273 miles per year to reach 48,382 miles. The data reveals a long period of inactivity between 2008 and 2013, during which the bike covered only 678 miles in five years. This pattern suggests the motorcycle has sat stationary for extended periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, seized brake calipers, and internal corrosion within fuel lines, regardless of the low mileage on the odometer. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the areas that previously flagged faults. The 2013 failure highlighted a damaged front brake pipe and excessive free play in the lower rear suspension bush, indicating that structural and hydraulic components were previously stressed or worn. The rear roller brake system showed history of binding and poor efficiency in both 2008 and 2013. Given the long gap in testing, an inspection of the tyres for cracking, the state of the suspension, and the integrity of the braking system is essential to ensure the bike is fit for road use.
