1992 Kawasaki GT550 0.6L Petrol · K621 WJA

The Kawasaki GT550 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 June 2024 at 28,494 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding examinations show no recurring mechanical or structural faults. The vehicle has cleared every MOT it attempted with the exception of a single failure on 9 December 2019 at 27,998 miles, which the record lists with no defects and was immediately followed by a pass three days later on 12 December 2019 at identical mileage. The odometer shows 28,494 miles against a 1992 build, equating to roughly 838 miles per year. The history confirms very low use: 27,905 miles on 5 September 2015, 27,996 miles on 7 June 2018, and 27,998 miles across both December 2019 tests. Only 496 miles were added between 2015 and the 2024 pass. A five-year gap separates the 2019 and 2024 entries, implying the machine stood unused for extended periods. Sparse clean records suggest light, careful ownership rather than neglected consumables. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person for issues that MOT sheets omit or that develop during storage. Long standing invites perished suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and corroded brake calipers or discs from moisture. The 2019 failure with no listed defect likely concerned paperwork or a transient issue; confirm the V5C and test certificate. Examine the frame and cycle parts for structural rust, check fork seals for weepage, and verify the exhaust emissions remain within limits given the age. The clean history supports a sound purchase, but low mileage and dormancy demand a hands-on check of rubber, brake function, and chassis integrity before commitment.
