2013 Kawasaki ZX 1000 HDF ABS 1.0L Petrol · HJ13 ADO

This motorcycle presents a remarkably clean MOT history, with five consecutive passes and not a single defect or advisory recorded. The most recent test in March 2024 at 38,918 miles confirms the vehicle is in a stable and well-maintained condition. The absence of any flagged issues over this five-year period is unusual and speaks to consistent, attentive upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent and low, averaging roughly 2,994 miles per year. The recorded figures show a steady, modest increase of around 900 to 1,000 miles annually between tests, with no sudden jumps or suspicious gaps. This suggests the bike has been used for light, regular riding rather than standing idle for long periods or being subjected to heavy track or commuting use. Given the clean record, a buyer should still perform a thorough physical inspection. Focus on the condition of the rubber components: tyres, coolant hoses, and brake lines may show age-related cracking despite low mileage. Check for corrosion on exposed metal surfaces, particularly around the exhaust system, suspension linkages, and brake caliper pistons, as these can seize if the bike has been stored in damp conditions. Listen for any unusual noises from the chain and sprockets, and verify the brake discs are free from lipping or excessive wear. The absence of MOT advisories is a strong indicator of careful ownership, but a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist is always wise for a thirteen-year-old machine.
