1999 Kawasaki ZX1100-D7 1.1L Petrol · T245 TWX

The Kawasaki ZX1100-D7 presents a stable and unblemished roadworthiness record, with the most recent test on 15 June 2022 at 37,665 miles returning a pass and no defects logged. Across the five available MOT entries from 2018 to 2022, the machine cleared every examination without advisories or failures, indicating a consistent maintenance trend that shows no worsening or emerging faults. The odometer climbed from 36,543 miles in June 2018 to 37,665 miles by June 2022, a total of 1,122 miles over four years or roughly 280 miles per annum. Against the bike's 1999 build date, this equates to about 1,395 miles per year across its life, confirming exceptionally light use for a 27-year-old machine. The record contains no gaps beyond the standard annual cycle and no sudden mileage spikes; the clean pass sheets suggest the previous keeper stored it well and rode it sparingly rather than neglecting statutory testing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the spotless MOT trail. Low annual mileage and long standing periods invite perished suspension bushes, seized calipers, and internal corrosion on brake discs that a summer test may not expose under load. The ZX1100's steel frame and exhaust demand close scrutiny for structural rust, particularly around weld seams and the subframe. Verify the actual mileage against service stamps and V5C, since the sparse history leaves little corroboration for the recorded 37,665 miles. Check tyre sidewall dates and chain tension, as rubber and final-drive wear accrue from age as much as distance on a machine this lightly used.
