KAWASAKI ZR2011 · 0.7L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 August 2025 with 4,475 miles and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of recent improvement as the recurring issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the bike is currently clear of failures, the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care, particularly regarding safety-critical consumables. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 298 miles per year. Between August 2021 and August 2025, the vehicle covered only 86 miles, moving from 4,389 miles to 4,475 miles. This extremely low usage suggests the bike has spent long periods in storage, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid-related issues despite the lack of mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A physical inspection must focus on the steering head bearings, which were flagged as slightly stiff or notchy during the August 2022 test at 4,415 miles. Although this did not reappear in subsequent tests, a check for play or resistance in the steering column is necessary to ensure the bearings have not seized. Furthermore, the consistent history of tyres worn close to the legal limit from 2021 through 2024 indicates the previous owner ignored tyre condition until they reached failure. A buyer should inspect the current tyres for sidewall cracking or spotting, which are common in low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary.
