KAWASAKI ZX-6R1997 · 0.6L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2022-06-15 recorded a PASS with no defects, indicating the vehicle met safety standards at 32,019 miles. This suggests any prior issues may have been addressed, but the history reveals recurring brake-related concerns. A pattern of front brake anomalies emerges: a 2019 MOT noted "slight fluctuation of brake effort" (1.2.1 (e)), and a 2016 entry flagged a "slightly grabbing brake" (3.3.A1b). These issues, while not critical, point to potential wear or contamination in the front brake system. The 2019 failure also included a non-working offside rear direction indicator (4.4.1 (a) (ii)), which was resolved by 2022. The trend shows intermittent brake problems over six years, with no recent defects. However, the lack of consistent monitoring between 2016 and 2019 raises questions about whether these issues were fully resolved. The 2022 PASS implies repairs were made, but the historical recurrence suggests the brake system may require closer inspection. The vehicle’s low mileage (1,104 miles annually) for its age (29 years) could indicate infrequent use or periods of storage. While this reduces wear on components like tyres and suspension, it may increase the risk of corrosion, seized parts, or degraded fluids.
