1995 Kawasaki EN500 0.5L Petrol · M546 FPV

This Kawasaki EN500 has maintained a clean MOT history over its most recent five tests, all passing without defects or advisories. The last inspection occurred just over a year ago, on 23 July 2025, at exactly 21,301 miles—a pattern of consistent compliance with DVSA standards. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues, nor any indication of deferred repairs or advisory notes that might suggest underlying problems. The absence of faults across multiple tests implies the vehicle has likely been subjected to basic, if not thorough, maintenance, though this does not guarantee hidden wear beyond what the MOT would have caught. The recorded mileage of 21,301 miles over approximately 31 years—roughly 687 miles annually—is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. The most recent mileage increments show minimal progression: just 507 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and 899 miles between 2023 and 2024. Such low mileage could indicate the bike has spent extended periods stored, which may accelerate wear on components like the battery, fuel system, or suspension seals due to stagnation. Alternatively, it might reflect light use, but the lack of any advisories on consumables—such as tyres, brakes, or fluids—suggests even minor upkeep has been attended to when necessary. Given the absence of MOT-reported faults, a prospective buyer should still prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear areas not typically scrutinised in a standard MOT. The suspension—particularly the rear linkage and steering dampers—should be checked for dryness or corrosion, as prolonged inactivity can degrade rubber bushes and seals. The battery, given the low mileage, may require testing for residual capacity, and the fuel system should be inspected for varnish or sediment buildup, which can occur in underused engines. Additionally, the chain and sprocket condition should be assessed, as low-mileage bikes often suffer from rust or improper lubrication when left unused. While the MOT record provides reassurance, these elements are critical to ensuring the bike remains functional and safe beyond its documented history.
