KAWASAKI MULE PRO2018 · 1.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean mechanical history following a minor setback. The most recent inspection on 17 October 2023 at 4,420 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating the machine was in good order at that time. While a failure occurred in October 2022 at 4,393 miles, the subsequent pass just two days later shows the issue was rectified immediately. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 552 miles per year. There is a significant plateau in usage between the last three tests, with the vehicle covering only 25 miles between October 2022 and October 2023. This suggests the vehicle is used only occasionally or has sat stationary for long periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it often invites risks related to rubber degradation, fluid decomposition, and brake corrosion due to a lack of regular use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by long-term storage rather than mileage. Given the low mileage, check for seized brake calipers or pitted brake discs, which frequently manifest when a vehicle sits without being worked regularly. Inspect the tyres for flat spots and sidewall cracking, as tread depth likely masks aged rubber. Additionally, examine the rubber bushings and suspension joints for signs of dry rot, ensuring the age of the materials has not compromised structural integrity despite the low distance travelled.
