2004 Kawasaki ZR 1000 A2H 1.0L Petrol · YK04 AHU

The 2004 Kawasaki ZR 1000 A2H presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent MOT test on 2 August 2025 at 29,314 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior tests on 18 July 2024 at 28,436 miles and 6 July 2023 at 28,113 miles also passed with no advisories, showing the machine has held a clean record across its later life. The single failure on 6 July 2023 at 28,113 miles is anomalous; the DVSA entry shows no defects recorded, which points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The odometer reads 29,314 miles against 22 years of age, an average of roughly 1,332 miles per year. The records show very low annual accumulation: 27,551 miles in June 2022, 28,113 in July 2023, 28,436 in July 2024, and 29,314 in August 2025. That is under 900 miles between each test. Such limited use over two decades suggests long standing periods. The sparse, clean history gives no evidence of rapid wear or skipped consumables, though sparse testing means hidden corrosion or perished seals from storage cannot be ruled out by the record alone. A buyer should physically inspect the chassis and suspension linkages for structural rust and degraded rubber bushes, as low-mileage machines left unused often suffer internal corrosion unseen in a pass result. The brake calipers and discs warrant hands-on checks for binding or pitting after years of light use. Verify the exhaust system and emissions hardware for rot. The clean MOT trail implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, but the 2023 duplicate failure flags a documentation quirk worth confirming with the DVSA before purchase.
