2013 KAWASAKI EJ 800 ADF0.8L Petrol

The 7 August 2026 MOT at 25,326 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming the Kawasaki remains roadworthy. The maintenance trend is stable; every test since August 2016 has returned a pass, and no recurring faults appear in the record. The absence of advisories over a decade indicates consistent basic upkeep rather than a pattern of deferred repairs. Mileage accumulation has been modest, averaging roughly 1,950 miles per year for a 13‑year‑old machine. The vehicle moved from 20,041 miles in August 2016 to 25,326 miles in August 2026, a gain of only 5,285 miles across ten years. The longest idle period appears between the 2016 test and the March 2018 test, where the mileage remained unchanged, suggesting extended periods of inactivity. The data set is sparse in the middle years but overall shows a low‑usage profile rather than rapid wear. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should inspect consumables and components that are prone to silent deterioration when a vehicle sits unused. Check tyre tread depth and sidewall condition for signs of long‑term static load. Examine brake discs and pads for corrosion or uneven wear, and test for binding calipers. Inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or oil leakage, and assess the exhaust system for rust, especially at the header and tail pipe. Verify battery health, coolant level, and oil condition, as these often degrade during periods of inactivity. Finally, look for structural rust on the underbody and frame, paying attention to weld points and corrosion around the footwell. A thorough visual and functional check will reveal any latent issues not captured by the MOT tests.
