MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

16 MOT tests are recorded for this 1991 Kawasaki En500 (J447 ETU) between June 2006 and October 2025.

The record contains 12 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 18 October 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 13 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Rear Exhaust noise is clearly in excess of that emitted by a similar motorcycle fitted with a standard silencer in aver”; “Rear Tyre has a tear caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Rear Rear reflector missing (4.8.2 (a) (ii))”.
