1996 KAWASAKI 12001.2L Petrol

The 1996 Kawasaki 1200 presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its two most recent MOT tests. The June 2022 examination at 56,976 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, matching the prior June 2021 pass at 54,736 miles. The vehicle shows no worsening faults and no outstanding mechanical concerns in the official record. Recorded mileage sits at 56,976 against a 30-year lifespan, equating to roughly 1,900 miles per year. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests accounts for only 2,240 miles, confirming very light annual use. Such low accumulation over three decades suggests extended standing periods rather than regular road use, though the sparse two-entry history limits deeper trend analysis. A buyer should physically verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as long idle periods commonly cause perishing rubber and seized components unseen in a clean MOT. Structural integrity around the frame and exhaust mounting points warrants close inspection for corrosion, given the age and likely outdoor storage. The absence of advisories implies previous owners addressed basic upkeep before each test. Still, the low mileage and limited record mean a pre-purchase inspection of tyres, fluid condition, and emissions equipment remains prudent before commitment.
