2001 KAWASAKI 0.6L PETROL

The most recent MOT test was passed on 5 May 2012, which is fourteen years ago from the current date. This significant gap means the vehicle has not been assessed for roadworthiness in a very long time. The recorded mileage is 51,498 miles, which is low for a 25-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,060 miles per year. This low mileage suggests the machine has likely experienced long periods of standing or very light use rather than heavy wear from regular riding. The MOT history shows a serious pattern of defects in the rear suspension during 2011 and 2012. In September 2011, the test recorded defects for a fracture of a load bearing member on the rear suspension, excessive play in a rear suspension bush, and a front brake disc that was slightly scored. The vehicle failed again in May 2012 with the same structural fracture and excessive free play in a rear suspension bearing. However, the vehicle passed a retest three days later, indicating the structural defects were repaired. Because the history ends in 2012, the long-term condition trend is difficult to assess, but the low mileage implies mechanical wear from driving is likely limited. The main risk now stems from age and storage rather than mileage.
