2008 Kawasaki ZX14 1.4L Petrol · AE08 ARZ

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 9 May 2025 at 48,675 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar trend from previous years, indicating a vehicle that is maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for an 18 year old machine, averaging roughly 2,704 miles per year. The data shows a period of very light use between November 2021 and January 2023, where the odometer moved only 537 miles from 45,057 to 45,594. Usage increased slightly thereafter, with 1,712 miles added by April 2024 and a further 1,769 miles by May 2025. Such low annual mileage often suggests the bike has spent significant time stationary. The absence of MOT advisories over the last four years is positive but does not provide a complete picture of the bike's health. A buyer should specifically inspect the tyres for age-related cracking or hardening, as low-mileage vehicles often run on old rubber that exceeds its safe service life despite having legal tread depth. The braking system requires a manual check for binding calipers or perished seals resulting from long periods of inactivity. Attention should also be paid to the fuel system and fluids. Long intervals between rides can lead to fuel varnish in the injectors or moisture accumulation in the brake fluid. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or suspension failures, a physical inspection of the frame and swingarm is necessary to ensure the bike has been stored in a dry environment.
