KAWASAKI ZX-6R1996 · 0.6L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by consecutive clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on June 2, 2026 at 11,759 miles resulted in no defects, mirroring the results of the previous three annual tests. This consistency suggests that the mechanical and structural components inspected during the MOT process currently operate within acceptable parameters without recurring failures or emerging advisories. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirty-year-old motorcycle, averaging roughly four-hundred miles per year. There is a significant gap in the records between August 2010 and July 2024, during which the bike covered only 26 miles over fourteen years. Since 2024, the usage has increased only slightly, moving from 10,788 miles to 11,759 miles over two years. While the low mileage suggests light use, it indicates the vehicle has spent long periods stationary, which often leads to specific types of component degradation not captured by standard mechanical wear metrics. A prospective buyer must prioritize inspecting issues associated with long-term storage rather than high mileage wear. Low mileage often masks dry rot in the tyres, perished rubber seals, and degraded brake fluid. Regardless of the clean MOT history, a physical inspection of the fuel lines, fork seals, and brake hoses is essential to check for cracking or leaks. The chain and sprockets should be verified for surface rust and seized links, as the lack of regular use can cause internal components to seize within the brake calipers and suspension springs.
