KAWASAKI ER51998 · 0.5L PETROL

The most recent MOT on record is from March 2018. Since the current date is June 2026, the vehicle has not had a recorded MOT for over eight years, making its current mechanical state and roadworthiness unverified. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of issues involving the front suspension. In 2016, the vehicle failed a test due to a leaking offside front shock absorber seal. By the 2018 test, both the nearside and offside front shock absorbers were listed as advisories for light misting of the stanchion. There were also earlier advisories regarding pitted brake discs and slight free play in the rear wheel bearings. With approximately 42,859 miles recorded over 28 years, the mileage is low for the age of the vehicle. This suggests the motorcycle may have been used sparingly or has spent long periods standing. While low mileage can mean less wear on certain components, long periods of inactivity often cause rubber seals to perish and can lead to the corrosion seen on the brake discs. The trend of suspension issues appeared to be worsening toward the end of the documented history.
