2007 Kawasaki Z1000 1.0L Petrol · AE07 AFO

The most recent MOT on 10 June 2026 recorded a pass at 39,626 miles but also flagged a failure for a missing rear reflector and a worn rear upper suspension rod bush, indicating the bike remains roadworthy yet requires minor remedial work. Across the ten‑year span from 2016 to 2026 the record shows no escalation of serious defects; earlier brake and chain issues were resolved, and the only recurring items are wear‑related, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. At 39,626 miles the 2007 Kawasaki Z1000 averages roughly 2,100 miles per year, well below typical usage for a motorcycle of its age. Mileage increments between tests are modest – for example the rise from 34,226 miles in June 2022 to 39,626 miles in June 2026 reflects under 1,400 miles per year, indicating light use rather than prolonged storage. No abrupt spikes appear in the log, and the consistent annual testing cadence provides a clear, uninterrupted history. A prospective buyer should verify that the rear reflector is fitted and functional, and inspect the rear upper suspension rod bush for excessive play or oil leakage, as the 2026 failure highlights wear in that area. Examination of the rear tyre tread is advisable, given the 2018 and 2019 advisories that the tyre was close to the legal limit. Front brake performance merits a visual check of pads and discs, especially after the 2018 pad wear and the 2021 chain tightness and sprocket wear notes. Confirm that the horn operates, the front shock absorber seal remains intact, and that all lighting and indicator functions are operational, reflecting the earlier 2018 and 2019 failures. A thorough visual and functional assessment of these components will confirm whether the bike’s current condition aligns with the MOT record.
