KAWASAKI VN7501995 · 0.7L PETROL

The most recent MOT entry for this 1995 Kawasaki VN750 is from 2011, over 15 years ago. Since then, no further MOT records exist, leaving the current condition of the vehicle unknown. This absence of recent testing is a significant concern, as critical systems like brakes, suspension, and emissions could have deteriorated without inspection. The 2011 failure report highlights two key issues: a non-functional horn (1.7.3a) and a slightly worn master cylinder pivot (3.2.B5). These were later addressed, as the same day’s record shows a pass with the same defect noted, suggesting either a temporary fix or a possible error in documentation. Earlier failures in 2009 reveal more severe problems, including leaking shock absorbers, a faulty throttle, a noisy exhaust, and worn tyres. These issues point to a pattern of aging components, particularly in the suspension, braking, and exhaust systems. The vehicle’s mileage of 15,128 miles (about 488 miles per year) is exceptionally low for its age. While this could indicate light use or long periods of inactivity, it also raises concerns about potential dry rot, seized mechanisms, or degraded seals due to lack of regular operation. Low mileage does not inherently equate to good condition, especially for a vehicle over 30 years old.
