2002 KAWASAKI EN5000.5L Petrol

The 2025‑04‑29 MOT at 53,213 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle presently satisfies DVSA roadworthiness criteria. The consecutive tests in April 2025 show a stable maintenance trend, as the earlier April 19 failure was followed by a clean pass just ten miles later. With a recorded mileage of 53,213 at an age of roughly 24 years, the average annual usage is about 2,200 miles, a figure that suggests relatively light use or extended periods of inactivity. The record shows a two‑day interval on 22 February 2023 where the same mileage produced both a pass and a failure, and a gap of 857 miles between the February 2024 pass at 52,415 miles and the April 2025 failure at 53,202 miles, after which the vehicle was retested and passed. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that have historically generated advisories or failures, namely the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear, and the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust. The exhaust system should also be examined for cracks or excessive corrosion, as these can affect emissions and structural integrity. Although the recent test shows no immediate defects, the low mileage does not guarantee that deferred maintenance has been avoided; a thorough visual inspection of suspension components, brake hardware, and bodywork rust is essential before purchase.
