2005 Kawasaki ZR 750 K1H 0.7L Petrol · GX55 ALU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of resolving mechanical issues. The most recent test on 22 May 2026 at 23,464 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a period of consistent passes between 2021 and 2026, suggesting that previous braking and steering irregularities have been successfully addressed and maintained. The mileage history indicates extremely low usage for a 21-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,117 miles per year. The record shows very little movement over the last several years, with only 1,141 miles covered between June 2023 and May 2026. While this low mileage suggests minimal drivetrain wear, such long periods of inactivity can lead to component degradation, such as perished seals or fuel system issues, which the MOT record cannot fully capture. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and steering assembly. Historical data shows recurring issues with brake performance, including a failure in June 2023 due to excessive fluctuation in front brake effort and a 2019 failure for severe front brake grabbing and rear brake binding. Although the recent tests show no current faults, the history of fluctuation and binding suggests the calipers, pads, and fluid condition require close scrutiny. The steering and suspension components also warrant attention. The 2018 test flagged slight free play in the steering head bearing, and earlier records from 2009 and 2010 noted notchy steering movement and corrosion on the front suspension assemblies. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should check for signs of corrosion on exposed metalwork and ensure the suspension action remains smooth and free from the stiffness noted in previous years.
