2013 Kawasaki ZR 800 ADS 0.8L Petrol · ST13 HVX

The vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 8 July 2025 at 3,794 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of consecutive passes dating back to at least 2016, suggesting the motorcycle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum regulatory requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage profile indicates exceptionally low usage for a 2013 model, averaging approximately 292 miles per year. The data shows a very gradual increase in distance, moving from 2,282 miles in June 2016 to 3,794 miles in July 2025. While the lack of reported defects suggests the vehicle has been kept in good order, such low annual mileage often implies long periods of storage. This pattern can lead to specific issues that a standard MOT test might not fully capture, particularly regarding the degradation of rubber components and fluids due to inactivity. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of all perishable items. Low-use vehicles frequently suffer from perished tyres, aged brake fluid, and degraded suspension seals. You should specifically examine the tyres for age-related cracking or flat spots, and check the condition of the drive chain and sprockets for surface corrosion or stiffness. Given the minimal mileage, inspect the battery health and fuel system for any signs of degradation from sitting idle. The absence of advisories regarding brake pads, discs, or structural corrosion in the recent history is positive. However, because the MOT is a snapshot of roadworthiness rather than a comprehensive mechanical service, you must manually verify the integrity of the suspension bushes, brake calipers, and any exposed metalwork for signs of surface rust. The clean record suggests a well-kept machine, but the extremely low usage necessitates a closer look at components that age through time rather than through wear.
