1987 KAWASAKI KL2500.2L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 20 December 2025 at 21,185 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the motorcycle consistently meets testing standards despite previous setbacks. While the record shows failures in September 2024 and December 2025, the lack of recorded defects on those failure certificates suggests minor issues were identified and rectified immediately prior to the successful re-tests. The recorded mileage of 21,185 miles over 39 years reflects exceptionally low usage, averaging approximately 543 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap between the June 2023 test at 19,268 miles and the September 2024 test at 19,510 miles, representing only 242 miles over fifteen months. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing often lead to age-related degradation such as perished rubber components, degraded fluids, and surface corrosion on metal surfaces. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the frame and swingarm, as long-term storage can lead to hidden rust that MOT tests may not always catch. Given the low usage, inspect the brake lines and fork seals for cracking or leaking and check the tyres for dry rot regardless of remaining tread depth. Verify that the brake calipers are free from seizing, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from internal corrosion on the discs due to inactivity.
