KAWASAKI ZX 600-G1998 · 0.6L Petrol

The 1998 Kawasaki ZX 600-G currently holds a valid roadworthiness pass from the 30 October 2024 test at 26,259 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available record. A prior failure on 23 October 2024 at the same mileage carries no listed defects, which points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Odometer readings show light use for a 28-year-old machine. The bike covered 24,782 miles by 4 September 2021, rose to 25,193 by 20 June 2022, then 25,399 by 6 June 2023, and reached 26,259 by October 2024. That averages under 1,000 miles per year. The sparse five-entry history shows no rapid accumulation or concerning gaps, though long stationary periods common at this mileage leave fluids, seals, and tyres vulnerable to age degradation rather than wear. A buyer should still inspect the motorcycle in person despite the clean sheets. Standing time invites hardened suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and corroded brake discs or calipers that a no-defect pass may not flag if within limits. Check the exhaust system and frame for structural rust given the age. The unexplained fail seven days before the final pass warrants a look at the DVSA failure sheet if retrievable. Confirm the actual reason, as it may reveal a rejected document or a defect later cleared. Overall the record implies careful, low-use ownership, but physical verification of consumables and corrosion remains essential before purchase.
